Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: feedcombinator at none against The Chosen's shown. feedcombinator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). The Chosen's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
