Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metron Comics at 5.0 against ComicHub's 1.8. Metron Comics also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ComicHub's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
