Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArtsWave at 71% against HRC Tickets's 0%. ArtsWave also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). HRC Tickets's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ArtsWave sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HRC Tickets asks for nothing beyond the download.
HRC Tickets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArtsWave has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HRC Tickets's written reviews are positive against 71% of ArtsWave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HRC Tickets ships an update every 5 weeks, ArtsWave fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
