Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kiku at 100% against 1k's 46%. Kiku also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 1k's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (188 vs 9). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
