Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Palava at none against Kunstpalast's 4. Palava also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Kunstpalast's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 15%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
