Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenKey at 4.7 against AXUS's 3.5. OpenKey also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 49). AXUS's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
