Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lalia Cafe at 5.0 against I Read Arabic's 4.4. Lalia Cafe also leads on ads (none vs shown). I Read Arabic's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. I Read Arabic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Lalia Cafe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lalia Cafe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: I Read Arabic has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
