Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: IndieReign app at free against Bindery Books's free with in-app purchases. IndieReign app also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Bindery Books's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
