The clearest difference is rating: Elsevier Conferences App at 2.6 against Elsevier eLibrary Reader's 1.0. Elsevier Conferences App also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Elsevier eLibrary Reader's advantage is ratings volume (79 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
