Best choice by job
| Job | Why |
|---|---|
| Recurring events on the free tier | Apollo documents recurring events, but the retrieved claim does not establish free access. sesh lists recurring events under Premium. A free recurring-event alternative is not established here. |
| Minimise what the app can read | Both retrieved Discord records report Server Members and neither reports Message Content or Presence. These flags alone do not establish which app reads less data. |
| Poll for a time that suits everyone | Polls are an established sesh capability; unknown for Apollo. |
| Export your own event data | Data export is listed among sesh's free-tier features; unknown for Apollo. |
| Sync to Google Calendar | Calendar links are free and two-way sync is premium on sesh. For Apollo, calendar sync is not established from a retrievable source. |

Our reading of the pair
Editorial judgment, not an observation
sesh publishes a free and Premium split. Apollo documents recurring events, but their free availability is unknown in the retrieved claim. sesh's published standard install request excludes Administrator. Apollo's retrieved custom OAuth link requests 36776045648, without Administrator.
