Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Criterion Ticketing at none against Mischief Events's shown. Criterion Ticketing also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (180 vs 1). Mischief Events's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
