Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: notisnips at none against KedaReader's 8. notisnips also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). KedaReader's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
