Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jamf Reset at 100% against AirKey's 50%. Jamf Reset also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). AirKey's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.7) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AirKey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jamf Reset has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of AirKey's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jamf Reset's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
