Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shadow at none against Listed Events's 2. Shadow also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 2). Listed Events's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Shadow against 5.0 for Listed Events. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Shadow ships an update fortnightly, Listed Events every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
