Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Komic at 4.8 against Liberotus's 2.5. Komic also leads on ratings volume (48 vs 2) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). Liberotus's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Komic sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Liberotus sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Komic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Komic has 48 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Komic's written reviews are positive against 50% of Liberotus's.
Komic ships an update every 2 weeks, Liberotus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
