# 口袋故事 vs KaDa阅读

The clearest difference is ratings volume: KaDa阅读 at 2.1K against 口袋故事's 114. KaDa阅读 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). 口袋故事's advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 口袋故事 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and KaDa阅读 sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KaDa阅读 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KaDa阅读 has 2.1K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of 口袋故事's written reviews are positive against 85% of KaDa阅读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

口袋故事 ships an update every 8 days, KaDa阅读 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
