Verdict

The call

Alpha Omega and Actorle both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 39% of Actorle's. Alpha Omega also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 119) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 16.4). Actorle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
