# Everand vs i2Reader Cloud

The clearest difference is monetization model: i2Reader Cloud at free with in-app purchases against Everand's subscription. i2Reader Cloud also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Everand's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (27K vs 74). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Everand sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and i2Reader Cloud sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Everand holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everand has 27K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Everand's written reviews are positive against 48% of i2Reader Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Everand ships an update weekly, i2Reader Cloud every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
