Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Esri Events at none against IACP's shown. Esri Events also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). IACP's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
