Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Qlik Alerting at 50% against Looker's 0%. Qlik Alerting also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Looker's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Looker holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Looker has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Qlik Alerting's written reviews are positive against 0% of Looker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Qlik Alerting ships an update every 7 months, Looker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
