The clearest difference is ratings volume: AABlueBook at 9 against Kubo Journal's 1. AABlueBook also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AABlueBook sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Kubo Journal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AABlueBook has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
