Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LaView at none against Kemo's 13. LaView also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (37% vs 17%). Kemo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
