Verdict

The call

Manga Reader and PanelPulse both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of PanelPulse's written reviews are positive against 0% of Manga Reader's. PanelPulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (109 vs 16). Manga Reader's advantage is chart position (#177 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
