Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bera Reader at Free against Tips & Tricks Pro's $2.99. Bera Reader also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Tips & Tricks Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Bera Reader is free to download; Tips & Tricks Pro costs $2.99 up front. Tips & Tricks Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Bera Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tips & Tricks Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tips & Tricks Pro has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Tips & Tricks Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bera Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tips & Tricks Pro ships an update every 2 months, Bera Reader every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
