Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mainka at Free against iKnox's $5.99. Mainka also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). iKnox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
