Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sleep Optimizer at none against Mindful Jot's 2. Sleep Optimizer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Mindful Jot's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
