For the space constrained, the Joule is a good bit smaller.

Anova recently announced a "nano" edition which is lower power, costs $99, and looks like it's closer to the dimensions of a joule. Couldn't find the specific dimensions anywhere yet though.

The nice thing about the Anova is that you don't have to use your phone to set it.

Yeah, it's annoying, but the Joule fits so much better into the drawer. It also has a much lower minimum water line, and slightly higher heat output, and as a result, it can heat up small portions to temperature _really_ quickly.

(We had an Anova, replaced it with a Joule and gave the Anova away)

Better for travel, too.

I took my Anova with me to a rented condo in Hawaii, it's nice to be able to make quality food with minimal effort. Joule would be even easier to justify.
