Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TaqReader at none against غزلستان's 11. TaqReader also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 7) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). غزلستان's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
