Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PW at 4.9 against Library+'s 3.9. PW also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and ratings volume (149 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PW holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PW has 149 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Library+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of PW's.
