Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HeadJournal at none against SnoreLab's 13. HeadJournal also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SnoreLab's advantage is chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
