Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NHD at 4.7 against Keystone Connection's 1.4. NHD also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Keystone Connection's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
