Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HISTORY at every 4 weeks against TheEventGuide.com's every 31 months. HISTORY also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). TheEventGuide.com's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
