Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KSGN at none against Air1's shown. KSGN also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). Air1's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (482 vs 28). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
