Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Akerayu at 100% against Jebena's 37%. Akerayu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). Jebena's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 13). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
