Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: kntd at 4.8 against Patternum's 3.4. kntd also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 25). Patternum's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
