The ZigBoatTM consists of a core module (Gateway) and a series of standard and optional sensors that can be added to fit your specific needs.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZigBoat™ at none against MotoDocs JA's 2. ZigBoat™ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). MotoDocs JA's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 32 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
