Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Levy Library Mobile App at free against Elsevier eBooks+'s freemium. Levy Library Mobile App also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Elsevier eBooks+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
