This is different from "~janai?" because "~ja ne?" is very casual. It is often used by young men. "~janai?" can be used by anyone. This is also different from "~jan". "~jan" shows you just realized something. "~ja ne?" asks for agreement.
Watch out: Do not add "じゃね？" to い-adjectives. For example, saying "高いじゃね？" sounds strange. Use "んじゃね？" instead. So, say "高いんじゃね？". You can use "じゃね？" with nouns and な-adjectives.
Don't use this when you need to be polite. For example, don't use it with your boss. This phrase is very casual. Use it only with close friends. It is for speaking or informal writing. Think of social media or comic books.
Use this when you want to agree with someone. It makes your statement friendly. It asks the other person to agree too. This builds a good feeling between you.
