Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Kinesis at free with in-app purchases against Throva's subscription. Kinesis also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Throva's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
