Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Alien at 4.5 against BEYOND Touch™'s 3.4. Alien also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and chart position (#208 vs unranked). BEYOND Touch™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
