Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alif Cloud at none against Mathani's 8. Alif Cloud also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Mathani's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Alif Cloud holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
