# A FB2 Reader vs i2Reader Cloud

The clearest difference is rating: i2Reader Cloud at 4.1 against A FB2 Reader's 3.4. i2Reader Cloud also leads on ratings volume (74 vs 5). A FB2 Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. i2Reader Cloud sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. A FB2 Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.

i2Reader Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i2Reader Cloud has 74 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of A FB2 Reader's written reviews are positive against 48% of i2Reader Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

A FB2 Reader ships an update every 2 weeks, i2Reader Cloud every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
