Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Book+ App at none against Underline's 3. Book+ App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Underline's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
