Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MP3 Книги at none against Litres's 10. MP3 Книги also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Litres's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 43) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
