Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dua Explorer at none against Al's 1. Dua Explorer also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). Al's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (97% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
