Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SaveIt.now at none against BookSnippet's 1. SaveIt.now also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). BookSnippet's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
