Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widget Reader at none against OnePage's 3. Widget Reader also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). OnePage's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
