Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ego Reader at 57% against LineGet's 28%. Ego Reader also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). LineGet's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
