Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iBucket at 4.5 against Eventful's 3.1. iBucket also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 9). Eventful's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (83% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iBucket holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iBucket has 82 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of iBucket's written reviews are positive against 83% of Eventful's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iBucket ships an update weekly, Eventful every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
