Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Reading List at $1.99 against Smart Receipts's $44.99. Reading List also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Smart Receipts's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
