The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Book Academy at none against Good Inside's 2. The Book Academy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Good Inside's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 43) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Good Inside sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $84.00 per 3 months. The Book Academy asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Good Inside against 4.9 for The Book Academy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Good Inside has 14K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two.
