Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Devi at Free against Alchemy Guide's $1.99. Devi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Alchemy Guide's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
