Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Earthquake at 4.7 against Alerta COE's 3.0. Earthquake also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 40%) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 4). Alerta COE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
