Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Spin Wheel at Free against Alien Motion Detector's $1.99. Spin Wheel also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Alien Motion Detector's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
