Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protanopia at none against RosyRead's 29. Protanopia also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 71%) and ratings volume (323 vs 29). RosyRead's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
