ReadMaze is a reading tracker you can actually read in. Most book apps ask you to log reading you did somewhere else. ReadMaze lets you open the book, read or listen to it, and keeps the record for you. READ AND LISTEN IN THE APP Import your own EPUB and PDF files and read them in a clean, distraction-free reader. Prefer to listen? Built-in read-aloud turns any book into an audiobook, and your listening time counts toward your streak, stats and goals automatically. TRACK EVERY BOOK Search millions of titles, scan a barcode, or add a book by hand. Import your existing library from Goodreads or StoryGraph in one step. Track by pages, chapters, percentage or time. BUILD THE HABIT Reading streaks, levels, daily goals and achievements make coming back easy. Streak freezes protect the days life gets in the way. REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ Save notes, highlight quotes and build a personal vocabulary list with a built-in dictionary. Coming back to a book after a break? ReadMaze writes you a spoiler-free recap from your own notes. SEE YOUR READING Detailed statistics, a reading calendar, weekly recaps and a yearly wrap-up show how your year has actually gone. Home screen widgets keep your current book one glance away. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. NO FEED. ReadMaze has no advertising anywhere. There is no sign-up, no social feed and no follower count.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stellary at none against ReadMaze's shown. ReadMaze's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
