Verdict
The clearest difference is price: HyperTexting at Free against Lettura's $3.99. HyperTexting also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Lettura's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
