# motonovel vs Y/n

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Y/n at 61% against motonovel's 6%. Y/n also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). motonovel's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. motonovel sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Y/n sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Y/n holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Y/n has 5.1K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of motonovel's written reviews are positive against 61% of Y/n's.

motonovel ships an update fortnightly, Y/n every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
