Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vex at 5.0 against DZ Reader's 3.7. Vex also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). DZ Reader's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
