Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Altenew at every 2 weeks against DIS's every 16 months. Altenew also leads on ratings volume (863 vs 8). DIS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
