Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KAPOW BUDDY at none against Java Nation Loyalty's shown. KAPOW BUDDY also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). Java Nation Loyalty's advantage is ratings volume (95 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
