Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: E at 5.0 against ArcGIS Earth's 3.5. E also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). ArcGIS Earth's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
