Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Eventscribe at free against Elsevier eBooks+'s freemium. Eventscribe also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (8.3K vs 1.9K). Elsevier eBooks+'s advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 27%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
