Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MeniJournal at none against Walkbucks's shown. MeniJournal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Walkbucks's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and chart position (#210 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
