Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Roopatara at none against Kannada keyboard (Mobile)'s shown. Roopatara also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Kannada keyboard (Mobile)'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
