Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AnimeWay at none against Kurozora's 10. AnimeWay also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Kurozora's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (374 vs 34). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
