Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KineScribe at 5.0 against GoWorksheet's 4.2. KineScribe also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17). GoWorksheet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (69 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
