Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MeniJournal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walkbucks has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
