XโYโZ enables users to scan and annotate text pages with ease. While pages are stored locally on your device, annotations are shared whenever another user scans and annotates the same page. For individual projects, annotations can remain private. To match pages and place shared annotations accurately, XโYโZ sends each scan to its server for text recognition and keeps only the recognised text layout and similarity fingerprints. The scanned images themselves are never stored online. XโYโZ is not a replacement for the book but rather an enhancement, adding a digital dimension to complement the physical experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X at none against Taleify's 2. X also leads on ads (none vs shown). Taleify's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 23 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
