Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Kisi at 23K against Linear Mobile's 2.1K. Kisi also leads on chart position (#177 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Linear Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 45%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Kisi against 4.8 for Linear Mobile.
