# Epub Reader vs ePub Reader

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ePub Reader at 100% against Epub Reader's 55%. ePub Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Epub Reader's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Epub Reader sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and ePub Reader sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Epub Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epub Reader has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Epub Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of ePub Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
