The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metron Comics at none against MangaPin's 2. MangaPin's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MangaPin against 5.0 for Metron Comics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MangaPin has 6.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
