Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebToon Reader at 88% against MangaBoya's 40%. WebToon Reader also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1). MangaBoya's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
