# Tachimanga vs ONE PIECE BASE(EN)

The clearest difference is rating: Tachimanga at 4.8 against ONE PIECE BASE(EN)'s 3.6. Tachimanga also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 36%) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 37). ONE PIECE BASE(EN)'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tachimanga sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ONE PIECE BASE(EN) sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tachimanga holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tachimanga has 5.3K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Tachimanga's written reviews are positive against 36% of ONE PIECE BASE(EN)'s.

Tachimanga ships an update every 3 weeks, ONE PIECE BASE(EN) every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
