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