Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jester at none against LaughTrak's 5. Jester also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). LaughTrak's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
