Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pokémon HOME at 3.8 against KingBladeBLE's 1.0. Pokémon HOME also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 51 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 1). KingBladeBLE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
