Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rooster Tracking at none against HEUG Events's shown. Rooster Tracking also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
