Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PagePlayer at none against Spotlight eMagazine's 10. PagePlayer also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 5). Spotlight eMagazine's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
