Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: True Reader at 5.0 against Iota Reader's 2.1. True Reader also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). Iota Reader's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
