Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Libreprose at 5.0 against Audio Notebook's 4.0. Libreprose also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Audio Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
