Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Onion Browser at none against K's shown. Onion Browser also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). K's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
