Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AAFE at 100% against Kois Reader's 20%. AAFE also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). Kois Reader's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Kois Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kois Reader has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Kois Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of AAFE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kois Reader ships an update every 9 months, AAFE every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
