Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Knoso at none against ShipTogether's 3. Knoso also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). ShipTogether's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
