Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AALIYAH at none against Edith's 10. AALIYAH also leads on ads (none vs shown). Edith's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 118) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
