Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kiwi at 67% against Google Cloud's 29%. Kiwi also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Google Cloud's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 2) and rating (3.3 vs 3.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Google Cloud holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cloud has 111 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Google Cloud's written reviews are positive against 67% of Kiwi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
