Verdict
Chaukabara and Kinetiform both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Kinetiform's written reviews are positive against 33% of Chaukabara's. Kinetiform also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 1). Chaukabara's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 22 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
