Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Checksy at none against Kickaroo's 3. Checksy also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). Kickaroo's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
