Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Alex at none against Wilgo's shown. Alex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Wilgo's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Wilgo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Alex sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
