Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChibiManga at none against ComicDeck's 4. ChibiManga also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). ComicDeck's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
