Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Broadway.com at 4.7 against BIB Mobile's 1.5. Broadway.com also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 16) and review sentiment (38% vs 20%). BIB Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
