They appear quite alike, and the cost gap isn’t too big, so I’m trying to decide between the two.

The cost gap is minimal—just a few dollars. The 14600K is essentially the same as the 13600KS, with a slightly higher clock speed and improved memory controller. If you can afford it, go for the 14600K; otherwise, the 13600KS offers better value.

It's a minor update from the 13th generation, featuring only slight clock speed gains and little else. If the cost remains unchanged, upgrading to the newer CPU isn't necessary. Otherwise, it doesn't justify the expense.

It depends on the cost. The 14600k offers a few minor upgrades. If it's under $10-20, I'd likely choose the 14600k. Or better yet, go with the KF if you're planning to buy a GPU.
