Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kindergarten Practice at 5.0 against Writing Wizard's 4.4. Kindergarten Practice also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Writing Wizard's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 1). 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. Writing Wizard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Kindergarten Practice sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kindergarten Practice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Writing Wizard has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Writing Wizard's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kindergarten Practice's.
