    they are in many cases interchangeable but there is a slight difference:

    insurgence is an abstract noun describing a state of budding revolution
    insurgency is an abstract noun describing a political or military movement as a result of a budding revolution

    1 : the quality or state of being insurgent; specifically : a condition of revolt against a government that is less than an organized revolution and that is not recognized as belligerency
    2 : insurgence
