Verdict
The clearest difference is price: A at Free against Kotoro's $0.99. A also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Kotoro's advantage is ratings volume (118 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
