Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Bookmark'd at free against Reading Tracker's freemium. Bookmark'd also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Reading Tracker's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (284 vs 13). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
