Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Apptuary at none against AlwaysOn Mining's shown. Apptuary also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). AlwaysOn Mining's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
