Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Klondike Forever at none against Klondike's shown. Klondike Forever also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Klondike's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (141 vs 42). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
