Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Morse Telegraph at none against Morse Code Keys's 3. Morse Telegraph also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 months). Morse Code Keys's advantage is ratings volume (175 vs 10). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
