HushStep
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep your favorite volume and brightness settings one tap away. Every feature is free. No ads, subscriptions, or account required. FINE MEDIA VOLUME CONTROL Adjust iPhone and iPad media volume with a slider, numeric input, and step buttons. Enter precise values and see system readback; the available precision depends on iOS and the current output device. UNLIMITED PRESETS AND SCENE GROUPS Save as many volume presets as you need, optionally including screen brightness. Organize them into groups for reading, working, bedtime, and more. Removing a group keeps its presets. INDEPENDENT WIDGET CONFIGURATION Existing preset widgets remain available. Each new Custom Scenes widget can independently display a group or up to four selected presets. Interactive widgets require iOS 17 or later and open HushStep to apply settings. BRIGHTNESS CONTROL Attach brightness to a preset and optionally reapply it when returning to HushStep. iOS restores system brightness after the screen locks. HushStep does not lock brightness in the background or disable automatic brightness. LOCAL STORAGE Your presets, groups, and preferences stay on your device. No account is needed. Requires iOS 16 or later.
Keyfeel
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keyfeel turns your iPhone keyboard into a mechanical one. Every key press has its own sound and haptic, the board lights up the way you set it, and your clipboard history sits right inside the keyboard. PICK YOUR SWITCH Choose from 8 switches across three kinds: linear (smooth all the way down), tactile (a soft bump, quieter) and clicky (a sharp, loud click). Each one sounds and feels different. Turn the sound and the haptic up or down on their own dials. LIGHT IT UP Four glow effects: Static, Wave, Reactive and Breathe. Light the board from under the keys or through the legends, pick a color or go rainbow, and set the brightness. 12 BOARDS Keycap sets from soft Milk to dark Midnight. Three boards are free to keep. Pro opens all 12. CLIPBOARD HISTORY, IN THE KEYBOARD Tap Paste and Keyfeel keeps the clip. Open the clipboard panel to paste it again later, pin the ones you reuse, delete the rest. The free version keeps up to 60 clips, Pro keeps 200, and pinned clips always stay. Keyfeel never reads your clipboard until you tap Paste. TYPE THE WAY YOU LIKE Swipe to type, word suggestions, a one-handed mode for the left or right hand, emoji and kaomoji, and an optional number row. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, and no network requests. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone. Try it in Airplane Mode. Keyfeel works without Full Access: you can type, swipe and use suggestions with your chosen board. Allowing Full Access adds the switch sounds, haptics and clipboard history, because iOS only lets a keyboard play custom sound and haptics with Full Access. KEYFEEL PRO Pro opens all 12 boards and keeps up to 200 clips. Yearly, with a 7-day free trial Monthly Lifetime, one-time purchase Prices are shown in the App Store and vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Keyfeel at every 10 days against HushStep's every 3 weeks. HushStep's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
