Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlinkBook at none against Vakkara's 2. BlinkBook also leads on ratings volume (74 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Vakkara's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
