Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: K&Ö at 5.0 against Swatchbox's 4.7. K&Ö also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Swatchbox's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
