Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ReadDeep at 5.0 against PageEcho's 4.0. ReadDeep also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). PageEcho's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
