Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SBS 고릴라 at none against Kiwi+'s 2. SBS 고릴라 also leads on rating (2.5 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Kiwi+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
