Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kitsune for MyAnimeList at none against Releasetime's shown. Kitsune for MyAnimeList also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Releasetime's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
