Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Noveltime at 50% against TapNovel's 0%. Noveltime also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (217 vs 2). TapNovel's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Noveltime sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and TapNovel sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Noveltime holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noveltime has 217 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Noveltime's written reviews are positive against 0% of TapNovel's.
Noveltime ships an update every 5 weeks, TapNovel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
