Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Elbrusoid at 5.0 against Habr's 4.2. Elbrusoid also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.0). Habr's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (109 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
