Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Raily at none against eTicket's 10. Raily also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). eTicket's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 9) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
