Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cyw at 100% against Ebook Reader's 51%. Cyw also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Ebook Reader's advantage is ratings volume (585 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cyw holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ebook Reader has 585 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Ebook Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cyw's.
Ebook Reader ships an update every 3 months, Cyw every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
