Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: iRead臺北市立圖書館 at every 3 weeks against 國立臺灣圖書館's every 2 months. 國立臺灣圖書館's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and review sentiment (43% vs 34%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
