Verdict
The clearest difference is price: JWords at Free against Ombi's $2.99. JWords also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Ombi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
