Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TalaKeyboard at none against Bear's 1. TalaKeyboard also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Bear's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (50 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
