Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EDMONTON EXPO at 100% against Showpass's 15%. EDMONTON EXPO also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Showpass's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
