Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Anniversary / Countdown at none against Past Events's 1. Anniversary / Countdown also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 25 months) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). Past Events's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
