# Lamplight vs EPUB Reader

The clearest difference is rating: Lamplight at 5.0 against EPUB Reader's 4.6. EPUB Reader's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lamplight sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and EPUB Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lamplight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EPUB Reader has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Lamplight ships an update every 9 days, EPUB Reader every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
