Verdict
The clearest difference is price: VoBooks at Free against BookHabit's $4.99. VoBooks also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). BookHabit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
