# 酷匠阅读 vs 看小说

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 看小说 at none against 酷匠阅读's 10. 看小说 also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). 酷匠阅读's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 酷匠阅读 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. 看小说 asks for nothing beyond the download.

酷匠阅读 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 123 and 128 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of 酷匠阅读's written reviews are positive against 91% of 看小说's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
