# NOVELOUS Light Novels vs PanelPulse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PanelPulse at 93% against NOVELOUS Light Novels's 47%. PanelPulse also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). NOVELOUS Light Novels's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NOVELOUS Light Novels sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and PanelPulse sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NOVELOUS Light Novels holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 301 and 105 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of NOVELOUS Light Novels's written reviews are positive against 93% of PanelPulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
