Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ALIVE at 100% against AR Blaster's 0%. ALIVE also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 2.6). AR Blaster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
