Biblio.ink also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). Actually Read's advantage is ratings volume (75 vs 6) and chart position (#151 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. Biblio.ink sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Actually Read sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
