Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GBV Pocket Guide at none against Kinnu's 4. GBV Pocket Guide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Kinnu's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (515 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
