Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EL AL at 68% against Allegiant's 7%. EL AL also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.8). Allegiant's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
