Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Natural Reader at 3.7 against 笔芯阅读's 1.0. Natural Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). 笔芯阅读's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Natural Reader sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 笔芯阅读 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Natural Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Natural Reader has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
笔芯阅读 ships an update weekly, Natural Reader every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and June 28, 2026 respectively.
