Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JointersMate at none against Stud Finder゜'s 1. JointersMate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Stud Finder゜'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 14 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
