Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Keep Time at 90% against haptik's 31%. Keep Time also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and device support (4 vs 2). haptik's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (401 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
