Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Events at 5.0 against Scouting's 2.0. Scouting's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (936 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Events holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scouting has 936 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Scouting ships an update fortnightly, Events every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
