Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Car at 4.5 against Keepsmile's 2.5. Car also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Keepsmile's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
