The call

The clearest difference is price: Inventorex at Free against Reading List's $1.99. Inventorex also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Reading List's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
