Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 思古 at Free against Epub繁简通's $12.99. 思古 also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 71%) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). Epub繁简通's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Epub繁简通 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively.
