The clearest difference is monetization model: Kraken Coffee at free against Jamba's free with in-app purchases. Kraken Coffee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Jamba's advantage is ratings volume (134K vs 1) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
