Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Competitive Timing at none against EdgeAlert's 3. Competitive Timing also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). EdgeAlert's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
