Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Premier Arts at 5.0 against Rally Reader's 4.4. Premier Arts also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Rally Reader's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
