Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eXeReader at none against Merge Object Viewer's 4. eXeReader also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Merge Object Viewer's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 38 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
