The clearest difference is rating: EventsZen at 5.0 against Spectrum Access's 4.5. EventsZen also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Spectrum Access's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
