Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy_Reader at none against Rivro's 1. Easy_Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Rivro's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
