Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alpine Rush at 100% against Alpine Arena's 49%. Alpine Rush also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Alpine Arena's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (184 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
