Pocket Reader - This is a reading app that does not require account registration or login, offering an extremely simple and easy-to-use interface. Core Features: Save web content you plan to read later or valuable content you have already read and want to keep. Design Philosophy: Pocket Reader is designed with the best user experience in mind. We understand the burden that new account registrations impose on users, so unlike apps like Instapaper, Feedly, or Readwise, Pocket Reader does not require users to register a separate account. Users can continue using their Apple ID, leveraging the powerful capabilities of iCloud for cloud synchronization. This is what we believe to be the natural usage pattern for such an app. Key Features: - Save any URL: Simply enter the content URL. - iCloud Cloud Sync: Sync your saved articles across multiple devices. - Multi-device Support: Whether you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, your data is synchronized across devices. We are continuously developing more features, including support for additional languages, categorization by tags, reading data analytics, and more, aiming to provide an even better product for our users.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Reader at none against Quicksave's 3. Pocket Reader also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). Quicksave's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
