Everything stays on your device. MergeKey never connects to the internet. The only network activity is the App Store handling the optional tips – that's why iOS shows a Mobile Data switch for MergeKey. The optional clipboard keeps your texts on this device only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MergeKey at none against Scout's 1. MergeKey also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Scout's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
