Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Knack at none against Vimkey's 4. Knack also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Vimkey's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
