Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Second Memory at none against Past Events's shown. Second Memory also leads on update cadence (every 9 months vs every 25 months). Past Events's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
