Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MASTERS WAY at none against Al's shown. MASTERS WAY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Al's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 31). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Al holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Al has 13K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 29% and 29% positive.
Al ships an update every 5 days, MASTERS WAY every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
