Your highlights live in one searchable journal — not locked inside an e-reader. See your reading add up Books finished, pages read, your reading pace and streak, top genres, books by month.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cocoas at none against Reading Journal's 3. Cocoas also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Reading Journal's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
