Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: T at 4.3 against AHL's 2.5. T also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 15%). AHL's advantage is ratings volume (194 vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
