# I Read Arabic vs Darisni

The clearest difference is rating: I Read Arabic at 4.4 against Darisni's 3.0. I Read Arabic also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (76% vs 39%). Darisni's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. I Read Arabic sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Darisni sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $22.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
