Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ray at 100% against GNT Reader's 60%. Ray also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). GNT Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
