Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MARTHOMIAN at none against Indic Keyboard's 4. MARTHOMIAN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Indic Keyboard's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 18) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Indic Keyboard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. MARTHOMIAN asks for nothing beyond the download.
Indic Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Indic Keyboard has 3.4K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of MARTHOMIAN's written reviews are positive against 67% of Indic Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MARTHOMIAN ships an update weekly, Indic Keyboard monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
