Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: KiteCalc at 100% against MySwimApp's 60%. KiteCalc also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). MySwimApp's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
