Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Common Reader at none against Komic阅读器's 2. Common Reader also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Komic阅读器's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
