Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Everwrite Go at none against Readvely's 1. Everwrite Go also leads on ads (none vs shown). Readvely's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
