Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: alphaXiv at every 4 days against UMAH.'s every 7 months. alphaXiv also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 3). UMAH.'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
