# Deereader vs 優讀小說

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Deereader at 626 against 優讀小說's 5. 優讀小說's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deereader sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and 優讀小說 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

優讀小說 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deereader has 626 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
