Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lunarwrite at none against CozyRead's shown. Lunarwrite also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). CozyRead's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence 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. CozyRead sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Lunarwrite sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lunarwrite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 200 and 97 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of CozyRead's written reviews are positive against 85% of Lunarwrite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CozyRead ships an update every 5 weeks, Lunarwrite monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
