Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kenonia at none against St Verena's shown. Kenonia also leads on ratings volume (155 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). St Verena's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
