Verdict

The call

Toonly and ComicPad both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ComicPad's written reviews are positive against 55% of Toonly's. ComicPad also leads on ads (none vs shown). Toonly's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (113 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Toonly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and ComicPad sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Toonly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Toonly has 113 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Toonly's written reviews are positive against 100% of ComicPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Toonly ships an update every 5 days, ComicPad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
