Black Library Audio's advantage is rating (2.6 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (83 vs 18). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Black Library Audio sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Turtle Beach Atom asks for nothing beyond the download.

Black Library Audio holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 18 respectively.
