Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Volt at 4.7 against Alloy's 4.3. Volt also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Volt sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Alloy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
