Both sit in the same lightweight lane: Alo's Accolade is $138 in a ~10oz cotton/poly/elastane brushed fleece with a tapered athletic cut, and MOTHER's is $145 in a ~10oz washed cotton fleece with a relaxed, lived-in fit. The $7 buys a washed all-cotton hand and a looser silhouette rather than any durability edge. This is fit and aesthetic, not substance.

Which should you buy?
Seven dollars apart, so let the cut decide. Choose the Alo if you want a fitted, slightly stretchy athletic hoodie that reads clean and modern. Pay up for the MOTHER if you want a relaxed, broken-in drape and the washed, characterful look. Both are priced for styling over fabric, and neither's roughly 10oz fleece demands the spend on its own, so don't expect the pricier one to wear tougher.
