# 书耽 vs 画耽漫画

The clearest difference is ads: 书耽 at none against 画耽漫画's shown. 书耽 also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 43%) and ratings volume (89 vs 2). 画耽漫画's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 书耽 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and 画耽漫画 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

画耽漫画 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 书耽 has 89 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of 书耽's written reviews are positive against 43% of 画耽漫画's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

书耽 ships an update fortnightly, 画耽漫画 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
