Verdict
Moblin and KICK both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Moblin's written reviews are positive against 45% of KICK's. Moblin also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). KICK's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ratings volume (716 vs 76). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
