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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cater+Event holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cater+Event has 85 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Cater+Event's written reviews are positive against 33% of IMEX Events's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cater+Event ships an update weekly, IMEX Events every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
