Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CSnovels at 4.8 against Novel Dragon's 3.7. CSnovels also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). Novel Dragon's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Novel Dragon sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. CSnovels asks for nothing beyond the download.
CSnovels holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Novel Dragon's written reviews are positive against 86% of CSnovels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Novel Dragon ships an update every 3 weeks, CSnovels every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
