Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jingle+ at 72% against Apollo World's 0%. Jingle+ also leads on ratings volume (319 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.4). Apollo World's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
