# RocNovel vs MoReader

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MoReader at 60% against RocNovel's 12%. MoReader also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.7) and ads (none vs shown). RocNovel's advantage is chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RocNovel sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MoReader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MoReader holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoReader has 303 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of RocNovel's written reviews are positive against 60% of MoReader's.

RocNovel ships an update every 3 weeks, MoReader fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
