Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: AWS Events at weekly against CGI U.S. Events's every 6 months. AWS Events also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). CGI U.S. Events's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
