# Amazon Kindle vs Comick

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Kindle at 4.9 against Comick's 2.6. Amazon Kindle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 33%). Comick's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Kindle sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Comick sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Amazon Kindle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Kindle has 5.8M ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Amazon Kindle's written reviews are positive against 33% of Comick's.
