Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alegnta at 4.0 against M's 2.5. M's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Alegnta holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: M has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
M ships an update every 3 months, Alegnta every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
