Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SmbReader at none against TinyReaderHub's shown. SmbReader also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). TinyReaderHub's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
