Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Keepad at Free against Regex for Safari's $0.99. Keepad also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). Regex for Safari's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
