Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cuneiform Edit at none against Symbol Keyboard's shown. Cuneiform Edit also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Symbol Keyboard's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 27). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
