Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Al at none against The Jerusalem Post's 3. Al also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.0 vs 2.7). The Jerusalem Post's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (207 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
