Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eBoox at 4.8 against Booklet's 3.8. eBoox also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 26) and review sentiment (88% vs 75%). Booklet's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
