# 轻阅 vs 独享阅

The clearest difference is ads: 轻阅 at none against 独享阅's shown. 轻阅 also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 9). 独享阅's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 轻阅 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 独享阅 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

独享阅 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 轻阅 has 45 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

轻阅 ships an update every 3 weeks, 独享阅 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
