Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Generic Object Detection at Free against ReadOver's $2.99. Generic Object Detection also leads on iOS requirement (17.7.2 vs 26.0). ReadOver's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
