The short version

Only Wattpad has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Everand the rebrand from Scribd to Everand has left search results and old links pointing at the wrong product, so users researching it need to know the current name to find accurate pricing and reviews.; Wattpad only a small, selected group of authors participate in the Paid Stories revenue-share programme, so the large majority of writers publishing on the platform earn nothing directly from their work being read.
They diverge on capability: Everand covers Unlimited ebooks and audiobooks, Wattpad covers Free serialised fiction library.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Everand

The rebrand from Scribd to Everand has left search results and old links pointing at the wrong product, so users researching it need to know the current name to find accurate pricing and reviews.
Some very popular or newly released audiobooks are subject to access limits despite the unlimited marketing, so it is not truly unlimited for every title in practice.
Its ebook catalogue from major publishers is thinner in some genres than Kindle Unlimited, particularly for the newest bestsellers.
Document and research content inherited from the original Scribd platform is mixed in with literary content, which some subscribers find cluttered.
Regional catalogue availability varies, and titles available in the US subscription are not guaranteed to be available elsewhere.

Wattpad

Only a small, selected group of authors participate in the Paid Stories revenue-share programme, so the large majority of writers publishing on the platform earn nothing directly from their work being read.
The free tier is ad-supported with ads appearing between chapters, which interrupts reading flow in a way competitors with a purely subscription model do not.
Content moderation across a huge volume of user-submitted fiction has been an ongoing challenge, and mature or borderline content has periodically drawn scrutiny given the platform's substantial teenage user base.
Since the 2021 Naver acquisition and merger with Webtoon, product direction is set within a larger Korean media conglomerate strategy rather than independently, which has meant slower, less predictable feature development for the original Wattpad product.
Story completion and update frequency depend entirely on individual amateur authors, so readers following an ongoing story have no guarantee it will ever be finished.
