Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Readify AI at none against XAirReader's 1. Readify AI also leads on ratings volume (115 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). XAirReader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
