Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: tiny Reader RSS at 4.1 against RSS Wear's 2.8. tiny Reader RSS also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 46%) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). RSS Wear's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
