Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Primaroca at none against AlpinVerse's 1. Primaroca also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). AlpinVerse's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
