Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Summit Reader at 4.8 against TxtReader Pro's 3.9. Summit Reader also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 56%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 8). TxtReader Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
