Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Opus Training at 4.9 against Kudos®'s 3.2. Opus Training also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and ratings volume (18K vs 11). Kudos®'s advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
