It supports importing EPUB, PDF, TXT, DOCX and MOBI files, automatic full-text translation, and multi-engine text-to-speech (TTS), combined with reading plans, vocabulary study and practice features that turn “finish this book” into something you can do a day at a time.

TingYue's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (413 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
