Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quantum Aqua at none against iAlert's 1. Quantum Aqua also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). iAlert's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
