Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reader at 5.0 against OmniPlan 4's 3.9. Reader also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 24%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). OmniPlan 4's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OmniPlan 4 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OmniPlan 4 has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Reader's written reviews are positive against 24% of OmniPlan 4's.
