Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FeedLyst at 5.0 against PoweReader's 4.4. FeedLyst also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). PoweReader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
