Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Korean Reading at 66% against Avocards's 30%. Korean Reading also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (502 vs 104). Avocards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
