Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: BookStreak at Free against BookHabit's $4.99. BookStreak also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). BookHabit's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
