Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Guidebook at every 2 weeks against ASA Events's every 5 months. Guidebook also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 1). ASA Events's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
