Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HebrewBooks at 100% against דבר מלכות's 57%. HebrewBooks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). דבר מלכות's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
