Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: O2 Academy Venues at 3.1 against CrowdComms's 2.6. CrowdComms's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
O2 Academy Venues holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of CrowdComms's written reviews are positive against 6% of O2 Academy Venues's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
