Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Alan at none against Comic Geeks's shown. Alan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Comic Geeks's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
