Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ticketing Boxoffice at none against Dubai Calendar's shown. Ticketing Boxoffice also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Dubai Calendar's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
