Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ReadingIQ at 4.6 against Endless Learning Academy's 4.2. ReadingIQ also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 1.7K). Endless Learning Academy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Endless Learning Academy sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ReadingIQ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ReadingIQ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadingIQ has 21K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Endless Learning Academy's written reviews are positive against 48% of ReadingIQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Endless Learning Academy ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadingIQ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
