Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Devotion First at every 4 days against Kanguka's every 2 months. Devotion First also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Kanguka's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (262 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
