Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: First 5 at none against The Jubilee App's 1. First 5 also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (890 vs 18). The Jubilee App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
