Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Panui at 5.0 against Booklyst's 4.1. Panui also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Booklyst's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
