Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ExamPro at every 2 days against Elsevier eBooks+'s every 2 months. ExamPro also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Elsevier eBooks+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
