O Klari é onde a sua leitura mora. Uma estante sua, um diário seu, e o Clube do Livro pra quando você quiser ler em companhia. Dá pra usar o Klari a vida toda sem falar com ninguém. SUA ESTANTE Guarde o que você está lendo, o que já leu e o que quer ler. Acompanhe as páginas do dia sem transformar leitura em cobrança. SEU DIÁRIO Anote o que ficou, guarde citações e escreva sobre cada livro. O diário é seu: nasce privado e só sai daí se você quiser. LER NO KLARI Clássicos brasileiros em domínio público pra ler dentro do app, com marca-texto, citações que vão direto pro seu diário e a página guardada de onde você parou. Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto, José de Alencar e outros. FOTO VIRA CITAÇÃO Fotografe o trecho do livro de papel e o Klari transforma em texto. A citação fica guardada, com a página. CLUBE DO LIVRO Salas de leitura com roteiro, conversa e encontros. Você entra na que quiser, quando quiser. COMUNIDADE Recados, citações e leituras de outra gente que também está lendo. Com véu de spoiler, pra ninguém estragar o livro de ninguém. CONSTÂNCIA E CONQUISTAS Uma chama que acende quando você lê, cartas que aparecem no caminho e o retrato do seu ano de leitura.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Klari at none against Folio's 5. Klari also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). Folio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
