Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Speed Reader at none against Odak's 1. Simple Speed Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown). Odak's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
