Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ColourComics at none against WebToon Reader's 1. ColourComics also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). WebToon Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
