Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JW Habits at 4.8 against GroupShot's 3.2. JW Habits also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (51 vs 5). GroupShot's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
