# Tachimanga vs Baiheverse

The clearest difference is ads: Baiheverse at none against Tachimanga's shown. Baiheverse also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Tachimanga's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). 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 Baiheverse sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Baiheverse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tachimanga has 5.6K ratings behind it against 3, 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 100% of Baiheverse's.

Tachimanga ships an update every 2 weeks, Baiheverse fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
