Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ALOC App at 5.0 against Sparrow's 4.3. ALOC App also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Sparrow's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 6) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
