Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mid at none against Storybutton's 2. Mid also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). Storybutton's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (17 vs 4). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
