Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lipex Light Novel Reader at 100% against MyAniList's 69%. Lipex Light Novel Reader also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). MyAniList's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyAniList sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Lipex Light Novel Reader sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lipex Light Novel Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyAniList has 24K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of MyAniList's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lipex Light Novel Reader's.
MyAniList ships an update every 5 days, Lipex Light Novel Reader every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
