Both are slow-paced, chill and dialogue-heavy anime and visits the same topics such as economics. If you're a fan of the economics and mercantile talks in Spice and Wolf, you will like this side of Bookworm Isekai.
These are two series that are very similar in mood. They are both fantasy slice of lifes that focus heavily on the intricate details of the trade that each is involved with: making books (initially) and literal trade. They both feature well-written main characters that are very good at what they do. They also have excellent world-building, really immersing you in the setting. The music is also somewhat similar.

Both are fantasy setting, smart female leads, merchants and trading. While there is a bigger romance subplot and adventure in Spice and Wolf and bookworm is more slice of life, both are shows unique shows that started from light novels that are different from the RPG power fantasy and are more intellectual focused.
Both are somewhat slow paced shows set in a fantasy medieval/renaissance era world, and feature more informational dialogue about economics (Ookami) and economics/science (Honzuki) along with some magical aspects.
Both great if you're looking for something with a slow burn, though they do have their intense and intriguing moments.

Both are about medieval fantasy settings, the life of commoners. and economics. They feature smart female protagonists. The shows are both well-written and have a similar feel to them.

A large emphasis of both shows is placed on the mercantile aspect of medieval life. The main difference comes in the roles of the characters. In Spice and Wolf, the protagonists simply transport the goods, while in Bookworm, they actually produce the goods. Both have a great deal of adventure, but in different ways. While Lawrence and Holo travel the lands in Spice and Wolf, the protagonists of Bookworm, Main and Lutz, rarely leave town, with the forest outside the city being a journey in and of itself. It doesn't stop the viewer from feeling like they're on an adventure anyway though, as Main is

Both series take seemingly mundane topics and turn them into much greater narratives.

Both are dialouge heavy (as expected from LNs) in regards to the world of economics. Myne and Holo are great female leads who are smart and keep the overall story intriguing.
The main difference is that Bookworm is in an isekai setting but the worldbuilding remains as strong as S&W since they have the same feeling of a slice of life, not a power-building isekai.
