Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OnKey Lite at none against Aural Wiz's shown. OnKey Lite also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Aural Wiz's advantage is ratings volume (641 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aural Wiz holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aural Wiz has 641 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Aural Wiz's written reviews are positive against 100% of OnKey Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aural Wiz ships an update every 5 weeks, OnKey Lite every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
