Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ABC36 at 4.6 against KET's 3.3. ABC36 also leads on ratings volume (671 vs 7) and review sentiment (57% vs 33%). KET's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ABC36 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABC36 has 671 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of ABC36's written reviews are positive against 33% of KET's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
