Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WFAcademy at none against Joplin Globe's 1. WFAcademy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Joplin Globe's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
