# MemberMe vs Tachimanga

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tachimanga at 76% against MemberMe's 25%. Tachimanga also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 1). MemberMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MemberMe sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tachimanga sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tachimanga holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tachimanga has 5.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of MemberMe's written reviews are positive against 76% of Tachimanga's.

MemberMe ships an update every 10 days, Tachimanga every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
