Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: isowords at none against Alpha Omega's shown. isowords also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 424). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
