# Manga Capsule vs KOOBONE

The clearest difference is rating: KOOBONE at 5.0 against Manga Capsule's 4.0. KOOBONE also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9). Manga Capsule's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manga Capsule sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. KOOBONE asks for nothing beyond the download.

KOOBONE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Capsule has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Manga Capsule's written reviews are positive against 83% of KOOBONE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Manga Capsule ships an update fortnightly, KOOBONE every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
