Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mishnah Study at none against PDF Reader's shown. Mishnah Study also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (245 vs 2). PDF Reader's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
