Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RainPoint at 4.6 against PubReader's 2.8. RainPoint also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PubReader's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 29%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RainPoint holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RainPoint has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PubReader's written reviews are positive against 29% of RainPoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PubReader ships an update every 2 months, RainPoint every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
