Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DW Alert at 5.0 against Emergency Response Procedures's 3.7. DW Alert also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Emergency Response Procedures's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 39 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
