Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kyro at 4.9 against Lexeme's 4.0. Kyro also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.4). Lexeme's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 14 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
