Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iReadNote at 4.8 against 快阅's 4.2. iReadNote also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 78%) and ratings volume (131 vs 24). 快阅's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
