Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 小阅 at 4.7 against ChmPlus Lite's 3.6. 小阅 also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 49%) and ratings volume (175 vs 11). ChmPlus Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
