Read Ease

The app helps you start reading every day and not give up halfway through. • Local EPUB and PDF import. Just select the file on your device. • Customisable pace. Specify how many days you want to finish the book in, and the app will calculate the size of each fragment. • Reading one fragment at a time. Each block of text takes a few minutes to read, making daily reading a realistic goal. • Reading counter. Shows how many days in a row you've opened the book — a visual motivation to keep going. • Notes on sections. Record your thoughts, quotes and questions right while you're reading. • Simple interface. No registration required, and everything is stored on your device. Read a little every day, and you'll finish books in no time. You may need to restart the app when loading a book for the first time. Reminders and widgets are added as beta features and may not work consistently.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Read Ease at fortnightly against Chieumi's every 2 months. Read Ease also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
