Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: YDReader at 49 against Comic Reader's 5. YDReader also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. YDReader sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Comic Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
YDReader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YDReader has 49 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of YDReader's written reviews are positive against 84% of Comic Reader's.
YDReader ships an update fortnightly, Comic Reader every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
