Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 清墨 at none against Summit Reader's shown. 清墨 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Summit Reader's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 9). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summit Reader sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 清墨 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
清墨 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summit Reader has 1.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Summit Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of 清墨's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
