Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EG Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: epuBear Reader has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of EG Reader's written reviews are positive against 83% of epuBear Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EG Reader ships an update every 2 months, epuBear Reader every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
