Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: K at 100% against GN Control's 40%. K also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5). GN Control's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

K holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GN Control has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of GN Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of K's.
