Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kehati at 73% against OU Torah's 5%. Kehati also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (160 vs 31). OU Torah's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
