Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SubSequence at Free against Honeycomb's $1.99. SubSequence also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Honeycomb's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (40 vs 3). On rating, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
