Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Journal.ai at 5.0 against Sonar Mobile's 4.2. Journal.ai also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). Sonar Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
