Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Kaiboard 中英混合鍵盤 at Free against 超注音's $4.99. Kaiboard 中英混合鍵盤 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 53%). 超注音's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
