Neither paleo or keto is "better" than the other. They're two healthy dietary approaches with different goals. And it's important to note that you can follow them both at the same time. In fact, that's what I do! Since early 2019, I've been on what I call a ketogenic paleo diet (paired with intermittent fasting), which you can read more about here. Whereas the goal of a paleo approach is to be as healthy as possible by following the diet that served our species so well for 2.6 million years, the goal of a ketogenic diet is a bit more focused. Keto is a high-fat, low-carb diet that aims to shift your body's primary fuel source from sugar (carbs) to fat. Aside from weight loss, reaching this state (which is called nutritional ketosis), comes with a host of positive health implications. If you're interested in learning more about keto (and how to do it right), you can check out my guide on the subject. If you're interested in seeing what following a ketogenic paleo diet looks like in practice, I recently kept a journal (with pictures) of everything I ate over a 50-day period. While these two diets are very different in both design and focus, they share a common foundation: they're about making healthy dietary habits a sustainable, life-long choice so that you can live better for longer. They're both rooted in eating high-quality, nutrient-dense foods that provide your body with everything it needs to thrive.
