Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kixy at 5.0 against b.yond's 1.0. Kixy also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). b.yond's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
