Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Git at 100% against O'Reilly's 46%. Git also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). O'Reilly's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (34K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
