Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TinyGenius Hub at 100% against Reading Eggs's 55%. TinyGenius Hub also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Reading Eggs's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 2) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
