Readsy is designed to help you read something every day. Currently there are three books to choose from, with more on the way. Each book is formatted to be read over the course of an entire year. The data format is open and is plain old JSON, so you can create and share your own books to read in a year. Version 4 of Readsy is completely redesigned to work with iOS 18 and higher. Version 4 has the following changes: Books can be downloaded from within the app. Books can be kept locally, or you can use iCloud to keep things in sync. Reading can be started at any time, not just at the beginning of the year. The file format has been redesigned to be more structured.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Readsy at none against Fantasy Read's 1. Fantasy Read's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
