Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Alberta Rivers at none against Kelowna10's shown. Alberta Rivers also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Kelowna10's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
