Well...nothing is so black and white. Some things react differently in different situations.
However...it is most likely you'd be using both of these as bases, and as such, KOH - potassium hydroxide - is likely slightly more reactive than NaOH.
This is by comparison of their pKa values alone, and many things may factor into reactivity.
If anything, they're both very similar in the grand scheme of things.

Which is more reactive sodium or lithium or potassium?
K; Potassium
Is potassium more or less active than sodium?
Potassium is more reactive than sodium
Is potassium hydroxide used in cleaning products?
Potassium hydroxide may be used as a drain cleaner but sodium hydroxide is more common.
Which is more reactive francium sodium or potassium?
Fr; Francium
What are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.

Why CaO is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide?
CaO is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide because sodium is more reactive than calcium.
What are different kinds of alkali?
There are sodium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and more.
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
Which is more reactive francium sodium or potassium?
Fr; Francium
What are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.
What alkali's would be found in a chemistry lab?
It depends on the lab, but sodium bicarbonate, borax, sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide (or their potassium equivalents) are popular alkalis with many uses.
What is the difference between sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
There is not a lot of difference. They are both powerful bases but potassium hydroxide is more expensive. Sodium hydroxide is manufacture by electrolysis of seawater. Potassium Hydroxide just does not have a cheap source of raw material as seawater!
Is aluminum more reactive with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide?
aluminum will produce tiny bubbles
