Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 本を探す at Free against eRokuyo's $0.99. 本を探す also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 20%). eRokuyo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
