Gap
Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese leads with open-source access and broad coverage, while Japanese Kanji Study - 漢字学習 leads with customization and study controls; one sells freedom from paywalls, the other sells control over the learning workflow.
Opportunity
That gap lets Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese own the no-locked-content angle for learners who want full access before they commit, especially self-directed users comparing free study tools.
Risk
Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese is strong on features, but the title and subtitle do not clearly foreground the main buying motive for a search like "kanji study": immediate kanji-first utility. That can cost taps from users who want a dedicated kanji app and may not notice the open-source and no-paid-content advantages quickly enough.
Strategic advantage
Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese can lean into full-access learning for budget-conscious learners, open-source supporters, and users who dislike upgrade gates. The combination of "No paid or locked content" and "more than 6000 characters" is a concrete edge for users who want breadth without commitment.
Missed opportunity
Neither listing owns the exam-outcome angle in a sharp way. JLPT appears as a filter in both, but neither frames the app around passing a specific level or building a test-ready study plan.

Japanese Kanji Study - 漢字学習
Dominant
For kanji study, Japanese Kanji Study - 漢字学習 is the clear leader and its #1 rank is defensible because the listing is stronger on keyword fit, conversion, and user trust. Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese sits at #10, and its open-source angle is real, but it is not carrying enough immediate kanji-first relevance to challenge the current leader.
Why it wins
Japanese Kanji Study - 漢字学習 has the stronger store presence and keyword optimisation, plus a clearer first impression with outcome-led captions like track your progress and test your knowledge. Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese is credible on access and breadth, but the title and subtitle do not surface the main kanji study motive fast enough.
Biggest opportunity
Kanji Dojo: Efficient Japanese can win budget-conscious kanji study users by foregrounding open-source access and no paywalls more directly, since No paid or locked content is a concrete differentiator.
Next priority
Ship a subtitle that makes the promise immediate: Open-source kanji study with SRS and no paywalls.
