Just a point of clarification: Riot.im is a matrix client, not an IRC client. 

The team leading matrix development and the freenode network hosting #sugar cooperate to provide and manage a bridge between the two systems. Riot taps into the matrix side of that bridge.

IRCCloud can be considered an IRC client, I guess, but it's also more than that: It's a service with multiple tiers, including free-of-charge and fee-for-service, to provide yet another app and web front end for those who want such things. Some people seem to like it.
