Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MangaNests at none against Marca's 3. MangaNests also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). Marca's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
