Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IJE (Journal) at none against SciMatic's 2. IJE (Journal) also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). SciMatic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
