Verdict
The clearest difference is price: b at Free against Job Order's $0.99. b also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). Job Order's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
