Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wishlist Maker at none against Events's 13. Wishlist Maker also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Events's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (103K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
