Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlowReader at none against RSS News Reader's 1. FlowReader also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). RSS News Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 57 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
