Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JEZ at none against AA Grapevine's 2. JEZ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). AA Grapevine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
