Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KeypressAI at none against QuickTerminal's 2. KeypressAI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). QuickTerminal's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price there is nothing between them.
