GH is a hand-management dungeoncrawler and, for now, there’s no dungeoncrawler like it. KDM is still dice-based combat, so purchasing depend on whether or not you already have dice-based dungeoncrawlers. KDM has dice-based combat, but it’s more of a boss showdown sorta thing, rather than bashing grunts.

KDM will have another KS in several years, possibly with a different KDM game system, focused on actual dungeoncrawling. If you like GH and aren’t close to finishing it up, no point buying KDM, imo. My KDM set is sitting in my closet doing nothing.

KDM has a settlement component, which no other dungeoncrawl has, afaik. Characters die often, so (I think) you can players dropping in and out.

KDM, of course, has high-end miniatures. While you can avoid spending time painting the miniatures, that’s what you’re paying hundreds of dollars for. You might find a core set without mini’s on eBay, at a lower price.
