Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: XControl at none against Keyboard's shown. XControl also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Keyboard's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
