Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Kannada keyboard (Mobile) at free with in-app purchases against Tushara's subscription. Kannada keyboard (Mobile) also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 17 months). Tushara's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
