Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fishbox at Free against WPS Reader's $4.99. Fishbox also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). WPS Reader's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.5). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
