# Manga Reader ㅤ vs Manga Reader Plus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Manga Reader ㅤ at 18K against Manga Reader Plus's 1.7K. Manga Reader ㅤ also leads on chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manga Reader ㅤ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Manga Reader Plus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Manga Reader ㅤ against 4.4 for Manga Reader Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Reader ㅤ has 18K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 13% of Manga Reader ㅤ's written reviews are positive against 8% of Manga Reader Plus's.

Manga Reader ㅤ ships an update monthly, Manga Reader Plus fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
