Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Major Cineplex at 3.5 against Ticketmelon's 2.0. Major Cineplex also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 6). Ticketmelon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Major Cineplex holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 6 respectively.
