Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Narrator at 4.5 against AudioBooker's 1.0. Narrator also leads on ratings volume (171 vs 1). AudioBooker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
