# Manga Reader ㅤ vs MangaNet

The clearest difference is rating: Manga Reader ㅤ at 4.5 against MangaNet's 3.8. Manga Reader ㅤ also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 371) and chart position (#152 vs unranked). MangaNet's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manga Reader ㅤ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MangaNet sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manga Reader ㅤ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Reader ㅤ has 18K ratings behind it against 371, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Manga Reader ㅤ's written reviews are positive against 52% of MangaNet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Manga Reader ㅤ ships an update monthly, MangaNet every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
