Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mi RED at none against NaturalReader's 6. Mi RED also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). NaturalReader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
