# 塔读小说 vs 米读小说

The clearest difference is rating: 米读小说 at 4.6 against 塔读小说's 3.5. 米读小说 also leads on ratings volume (328 vs 13). 塔读小说's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 58%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 塔读小说 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 米读小说 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

米读小说 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 米读小说 has 328 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of 塔读小说's written reviews are positive against 58% of 米读小说's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
