# 塔读小说 vs 联合阅读

The clearest difference is rating: 联合阅读 at 5.0 against 塔读小说's 3.5. 联合阅读 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 塔读小说's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 50%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 联合阅读 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

联合阅读 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 塔读小说 has 13 ratings behind it against 1, 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 50% of 联合阅读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

塔读小说 ships an update monthly, 联合阅读 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
