Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NetFic at 78% against NovelsReader's 7%. NetFic also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.4) and ads (none vs shown). NovelsReader's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
