Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tertulia at 67% against Concord Reader +'s 14%. Tertulia also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Concord Reader +'s advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
