Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FolioSpace at Free against ComicShare's $3.99. FolioSpace also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). ComicShare's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
