Verdict
Elsevier eBooks+ and INEDSYS both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of INEDSYS's written reviews are positive against 43% of Elsevier eBooks+'s. INEDSYS also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Elsevier eBooks+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 9). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
