The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elsevier eBooks+ at none against MyGlomCon's 1. Elsevier eBooks+ also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). MyGlomCon's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
