Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Status Tool at Free against Japanese Typing Pro's $0.49. Status Tool also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Japanese Typing Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
