Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NOVAUM at none against Alive Cycle's shown. NOVAUM also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Alive Cycle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
