Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SG Libraries at Free against Brindamrutam's $2.99. SG Libraries also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Brindamrutam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
