Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PlayMirror at 100% against ComicHub's 7%. PlayMirror also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). ComicHub's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ratings volume (94 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
