# MoReader vs PiRead

The clearest difference is rating: PiRead at 4.3 against MoReader's 4.0. MoReader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoReader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and PiRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PiRead holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 301 and 258 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 60% and 61% positive.

MoReader ships an update every 3 weeks, PiRead every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
