Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Jott at weekly against zeitweise's every 3 months. Jott also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
