Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Broadway Direct at 3.9 against BookCon's 2.7. BookCon's advantage is ratings volume (101 vs 32). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Broadway Direct holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 101 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Broadway Direct's written reviews are positive against 30% of BookCon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
