Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MangaPin at 5.9K against Lipex Light Novel Reader's 10. Lipex Light Novel Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MangaPin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Lipex Light Novel Reader sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MangaPin against 4.9 for Lipex Light Novel Reader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MangaPin has 5.9K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of MangaPin's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lipex Light Novel Reader's.
MangaPin ships an update every 11 days, Lipex Light Novel Reader every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
