Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Coread at 4.4 against TapNovel's 3.0. Coread also leads on ratings volume (107 vs 2). TapNovel's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TapNovel sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Coread sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Coread holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coread has 107 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
TapNovel ships an update every 2 weeks, Coread every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
