The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KyPDF at 100% against Deadliner's 29%. KyPDF also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Deadliner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
