Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: InfoSoup Libraries at fortnightly against Hiking Trails's every 22 months. InfoSoup Libraries also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Hiking Trails's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
