Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: YourKeepr at free against OpenRecovery's free with in-app purchases. OpenRecovery's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 67%) and ratings volume (292 vs 19). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OpenRecovery sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and YourKeepr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
