Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cricket Pulse Live at 79% against Ashes Alerts's 33%. Cricket Pulse Live also leads on iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.6). Ashes Alerts's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
