# MNGA vs NGAPlus

The clearest difference is update cadence: NGAPlus at every 2 days against MNGA's every 5 weeks. NGAPlus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). MNGA's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MNGA sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and NGAPlus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NGAPlus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MNGA has 92 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MNGA ships an update every 5 weeks, NGAPlus every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
