Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenKey at 73% against JSX's 28%. OpenKey also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 119). JSX's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
