Verdict
The clearest difference is price: R2SReader at Free against RSSolved's $0.99. R2SReader also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). RSSolved's advantage is chart position (#108 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
