Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: JotNotes at none against Weekly Planner's shown. JotNotes also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). Weekly Planner's advantage is ratings volume (113 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
