Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: xRecorder at none against Keyz Keyboard's 1. xRecorder also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.5). Keyz Keyboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
