Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KeyFolder2 at none against KeeHolder's 1. KeyFolder2 also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). KeeHolder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 15 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
