Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Roya TV at Free against Events's $0.99. Roya TV also leads on rating (3.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 27 months). Events's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
