The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Line Reader at 100% against ScenePartner's 38%. ScenePartner's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ScenePartner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of ScenePartner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Line Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
