Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StoryGraph at none against Bookmory's shown. StoryGraph also leads on chart position (#23 vs #121). Bookmory's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (93% vs 70%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
