Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alpha at 100% against Travel Decor's 64%. Alpha also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Travel Decor's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 3) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Travel Decor sells 27 one-off in-app purchases and Alpha sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Travel Decor holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Travel Decor has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Travel Decor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alpha's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Travel Decor ships an update every 3 weeks, Alpha every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
