When a book leaves a mark, Readmarks keeps it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BookStash at none against Readmarks's 3. BookStash also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
