The clearest difference is rating: Nana's Focus at 5.0 against I Read's 4.6. Nana's Focus also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). I Read's advantage is ratings volume (123 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
