Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ADT Alert at free against tedee's paid. ADT Alert also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). tedee's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
