# Manga UP! vs ChapterTrack

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChapterTrack at none against Manga UP!'s 13. ChapterTrack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Manga UP!'s advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manga UP! sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. ChapterTrack asks for nothing beyond the download.

ChapterTrack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga UP! has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Manga UP! ships an update monthly, ChapterTrack every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
