Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: tiReader at none against Epub Reader's shown. tiReader also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Epub Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (11K vs 649). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
