# ComicShare vs Manga Viewer

The clearest difference is price: Manga Viewer at Free against ComicShare's $3.99. Manga Viewer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). ComicShare's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#103 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Manga Viewer is free to download; ComicShare costs $3.99 up front. ComicShare sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Manga Viewer sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manga Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Viewer has 350 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of ComicShare's written reviews are positive against 83% of Manga Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ComicShare ships an update every 4 weeks, Manga Viewer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
