Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ミューテ(Mu at none against DrawerJournal's 3. ミューテ(Mu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). DrawerJournal's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 39 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
