# Manga Dogs vs Manga Reader ㅤ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Manga Dogs at 52% against Manga Reader ㅤ's 13%. Manga Dogs also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Manga Reader ㅤ's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (18K vs 1.8K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manga Dogs sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 3 months and Manga Reader ㅤ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manga Reader ㅤ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Reader ㅤ has 18K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Manga Dogs's written reviews are positive against 13% of Manga Reader ㅤ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Manga Dogs ships an update every 3 weeks, Manga Reader ㅤ monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
