# 轻阅 vs Comic Reader

轻阅 and Comic Reader both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Comic Reader's written reviews are positive against 71% of 轻阅's. 轻阅's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 轻阅 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Comic Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for 轻阅 against 4.4 for Comic Reader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 轻阅 has 44 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of 轻阅's written reviews are positive against 83% of Comic Reader's.

轻阅 ships an update every 3 weeks, Comic Reader fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
