Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BookBub at 4.7 against User guide for iPhone & iPad's 2.9. BookBub also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). User guide for iPhone & iPad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
