Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Popped Up at none against MoreEvents's shown. Popped Up also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MoreEvents's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
