Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HAIR MODE Reader at none against eBook Maker's shown. HAIR MODE Reader also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). eBook Maker's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
