Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: altDQ at none against Midnight Pulp's 4. altDQ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Midnight Pulp's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
