Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ppokkuk at none against Dark Mode Reader's 1. Ppokkuk also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Dark Mode Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
