Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TOC Conference & Showcase at 5.0 against NTCA App's 3.8. TOC Conference & Showcase also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). NTCA App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
