Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RequestLab at none against JSON Dashboard's 1. RequestLab also leads on ads (none vs shown). JSON Dashboard's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
