Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard at none against Google Chrome's shown. Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 121K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
