Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eki Live at none against KamikochiLine's shown. Eki Live also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). KamikochiLine's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
