Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ParticleFluid at none against KaleidoCanvas's shown. ParticleFluid also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months). KaleidoCanvas's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
