# KMReader vs YaArr

The clearest difference is monetization model: YaArr at free against KMReader's free with in-app purchases. KMReader's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KMReader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and YaArr sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for KMReader against 5.0 for YaArr. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KMReader has 31 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

KMReader ships an update weekly, YaArr fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
