# Deereader vs Romanlar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Romanlar at 75% against Deereader's 27%. Romanlar also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Deereader's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deereader sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Romanlar sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deereader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 626 and 337 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Deereader's written reviews are positive against 75% of Romanlar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deereader ships an update every 2 months, Romanlar fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
