Alert The Globe's original idea was conceived in the Recording Studios of Hollywood California back in 2011. The founders, Ron Garrett and David Harrelson had both been working in the Recording industry for decades and wanted to build a home for the world’s musicians to where they could share ideas and show the world their music. While Alert The Globe attracted the attention of musicians from the greatest bands in the world, it was also becoming the go-to website for the world’s viewers, lovers of music if you will.

The clearest difference is ads: Alert The Globe at none against Broadway.com's shown. Alert The Globe also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Broadway.com's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 7) and review sentiment (38% vs 25%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
