Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Libro.fm Audiobooks at none against Bookmark'd's 2. Libro.fm Audiobooks also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (41K vs 13). Bookmark'd's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
