Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RYTD at Free against Watch Reader's $0.99. RYTD also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). Watch Reader's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.3). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
