Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Inkitt at 4.6 against ScrollStack's 1.0. Inkitt also leads on ratings volume (9.7K vs 1) and chart position (#83 vs unranked). ScrollStack's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Inkitt holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inkitt has 9.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
