Our take
Pick Anki if you're learners who will write or import a deck and review daily. Pick Knowt if you're students who will stay on Free for unlimited sets and only buy Ultra when they need more than one AI summary a month. Skip Anki if you're people who want a locked kanji path (WaniKani) or an AI speaking partner (Langua).
