Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kickstarter at 4.8 against Seegar's 2.5. Kickstarter also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (59K vs 2). Seegar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
