Pick the Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM if you need a lightweight, standard prime for everyday shooting at a lower price. Choose the Samyang 8 mm f/3.5 if you specifically want an ultra-wide fisheye perspective and can accept the slower aperture and higher cost. The Canon remains the better choice if budget or versatility matters more than extreme wide-angle distortion.
