Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LeafRead at none against Page Tracker's shown. LeafRead also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). Page Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
