Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Joystickd at 5.0 against Autopsy's 4.0. Joystickd also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Autopsy's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). 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.
Joystickd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autopsy has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
