Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eden at 89% against Alpha's 38%. Eden also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.6). Alpha's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Alpha sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Eden sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Alpha holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eden has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Alpha's written reviews are positive against 89% of Eden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Alpha ships an update every 2 weeks, Eden every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
