Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Criterion Ticketing at 4.9 against GalaPro's 1.5. Criterion Ticketing also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). GalaPro's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GalaPro sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Criterion Ticketing asks for nothing beyond the download.
Criterion Ticketing holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Criterion Ticketing has 180 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of GalaPro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Criterion Ticketing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GalaPro ships an update every 2 months, Criterion Ticketing every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
