Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Canopy at 4.8 against Events's 3.0. Canopy also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 2). Events's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
