Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anlien at 100% against Kickstarter's 33%. Anlien also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Kickstarter's advantage is chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
