Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Alliance Events at free against ASA PLUS's subscription. Alliance Events also leads on ratings volume (115 vs 2). ASA PLUS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
