The clearest difference is rating: alpha platform at 4.2 against JO_Academy's 3.6. alpha platform also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). JO_Academy's advantage is ratings volume (408 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
