Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Interactful at 4.9 against App Maker Professional's 3.9. Interactful also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 60%) and ratings volume (402 vs 25). App Maker Professional's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
