Verdict
The clearest difference is price: put.io at Free against Alpha Crux's $0.99. put.io also leads on ratings volume (97 vs 2). Alpha Crux's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
