Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadAble at none against Reading Timer's 1. ReadAble also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Reading Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
