Verdict
AlertAQ and 1VALET both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of AlertAQ's written reviews are positive against 37% of 1VALET's. AlertAQ also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). 1VALET's advantage is ratings volume (942 vs 5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
1VALET holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1VALET has 942 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of AlertAQ's written reviews are positive against 37% of 1VALET's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AlertAQ ships an update weekly, 1VALET every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
