Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadStats at none against Book Tracker & TBR's 3. ReadStats also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Book Tracker & TBR's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
