# 漫咖 vs Manga Reader ㅤ

漫咖 and Manga Reader ㅤ both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of 漫咖's written reviews are positive against 13% of Manga Reader ㅤ's. 漫咖 also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Manga Reader ㅤ's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 334) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 漫咖 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Manga Reader ㅤ sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for 漫咖 against 4.5 for Manga Reader ㅤ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Reader ㅤ has 18K ratings behind it against 334, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of 漫咖's written reviews are positive against 13% of Manga Reader ㅤ's.

漫咖 ships an update every 6 weeks, Manga Reader ㅤ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
