Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Datadog at 38% against AWS Events's 14%. AWS Events's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 292). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AWS Events holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AWS Events has 5.3K ratings behind it against 292, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Datadog's written reviews are positive against 14% of AWS Events's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Datadog ships an update every 9 days, AWS Events weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
