Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Credly at 81% against AWS Events's 14%. Credly also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). AWS Events's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 923). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
