Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enloop at none against My Central Jersey's 4. Enloop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). My Central Jersey's advantage is chart position (#198 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
