Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reader at 5.0 against Decision Logic's 4.1. Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Decision Logic's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 57%) and ratings volume (12 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Decision Logic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Reader's written reviews are positive against 80% of Decision Logic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Reader ships an update weekly, Decision Logic every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
