Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Librero at none against Bookmory's shown. Librero also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Bookmory's advantage is chart position (#96 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
