Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alien Path at 92% against Cubica's 36%. Alien Path also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (196 vs 15). Cubica's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
