Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pure at none against Alternative Barber's shown. Pure also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 44 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Alternative Barber's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
