IMO Kiara mostly gives good to decent performances
The way she played Preeti in Kabir Singh was completely different from the way she played Moni in Good News. Yes, I did not like Kabir Singh as a film. But she definitely did justice to an innocent subdued girl. In fact, she nailed it.

While I agree she has not done anything extraordinarily challenging yet. She has mostly stuck to really commercial cinema. I feel she is capable of more.
While there is nothing majorly wrong with Kriti's acting. She is fine. I feel like she does not bring in the same variation in her characters as Kiara does. She has challenged herself more with roles like Mimi. So I guess she trumps Kiara in that regard.
In dancing in Thumkeshwari Kriti was very stiff. She completely lacked grace. Maybe because her body is long and tall it is hard. Although many stated Kiara was totally out shadowed by Diljit in Sauda Khara Khara. It was bhangra which Diljit has to know how to do well. I feel she has more rhythm and grace in her movements.
Neither are nothing like a Rani Mukherji or Aish. The really talented dancers who were also actresses.
