Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StudentPlus at 1.7 against SMP eReader's 1.4. StudentPlus also leads on ratings volume (815 vs 51) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). SMP eReader's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
