Verdict

The call

ReadAnywhere and Tempt both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Tempt's written reviews are positive against 16% of ReadAnywhere's. Tempt also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). ReadAnywhere's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (10K vs 1.7K). On price, rating, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.
