Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 독파 at none against Cat's Library's 7. 독파 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Cat's Library's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
