Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Telstra at 4.3 against ALDI Mobile's 1.8. My Telstra also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 17) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ALDI Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
