Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SurpriseTouch at none against Kinetiform's 1. SurpriseTouch also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months). Kinetiform's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
