Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eventsential at 80% against Ultimo Go+'s 20%. Eventsential also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 3). Ultimo Go+'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ultimo Go+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eventsential has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Eventsential's written reviews are positive against 20% of Ultimo Go+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Eventsential ships an update every 5 weeks, Ultimo Go+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
