Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: One At A Time at none against Readgio's 3. One At A Time also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Readgio's advantage is chart position (#201 vs unranked) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readgio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. One At A Time asks for nothing beyond the download.
One At A Time holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readgio has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
