Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: r n kmt at 4.6 against HieroglyphLite's 2.3. r n kmt also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). HieroglyphLite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
