Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WordCount Plus at Free against JotSpot's $0.99. WordCount Plus also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). JotSpot's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
