Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BookClub at none against Reading Tracker's 15. BookClub also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Reading Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
