Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FullScreen Reader at 5.0 against AniBox's 2.8. FullScreen Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown). AniBox's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
