Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Konstella at 4.6 against Membership Toolkit's 2.5. Konstella also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Membership Toolkit's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
