Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KeyboardKit at 4.4 against iKeywi's 2.8. KeyboardKit also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 34%) and ratings volume (77 vs 6). iKeywi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
