Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TinyTinyClient at 5.0 against ReadKit's 4.4. TinyTinyClient also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). ReadKit's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
