# 帆书 vs KaDa阅读

帆书 and KaDa阅读 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of KaDa阅读's written reviews are positive against 68% of 帆书's. KaDa阅读 also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 560). 帆书's advantage is chart position (#173 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 帆书 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and KaDa阅读 sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
