Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iReadNote at 4.8 against 红豆小说's 4.3. iReadNote also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 67%) and ratings volume (131 vs 3). 红豆小说's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
