Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Esri Events at every 3 months against SEMCOG's every 48 months. Esri Events also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). SEMCOG's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
