Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KeyShare at 5.0 against Red Roof's 2.4. KeyShare also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). Red Roof's advantage is ratings volume (88 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
