Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ora at 4.7 against Kanban Tool's 3.7. Ora also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). Kanban Tool's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
