# PureReader vs 我的书橱

The clearest difference is rating: 我的书橱 at 5.0 against PureReader's 4.0. 我的书橱 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). PureReader's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PureReader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 我的书橱 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

我的书橱 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureReader has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of PureReader's written reviews are positive against 79% of 我的书橱's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PureReader ships an update every 3 months, 我的书橱 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
