Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chunky Comics Reader at none against eComics's 1. Chunky Comics Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). eComics's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
