Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Kadō at Free against Streaks's $5.99. Kadō also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Streaks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (27K vs 13). On rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
