Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Local Secrets at 100% against EMTicket's 31%. Local Secrets also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). EMTicket's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
