Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EspressoLytics at 100% against Jack's's 21%. EspressoLytics also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Jack's's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
