Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bootscoot ATX at none against Hodgdon Reloading Manual's 13. Bootscoot ATX also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 10 months). Hodgdon Reloading Manual's advantage is chart position (#204 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
