My name is Lisa VanDamme and I am the founder of VanDamme Academy, a small private school in Southern California with big ambitions to provide students with an exceptional education and a joyful learning experience. The single, animating element of my career – the one that provides me with an endlessly replenishing daily dose of endorphins – is teaching literature. I am not a literary scholar. I cannot classify works by “school” or “movement,” I cannot describe how they reflect the historical period in which they were written, I don’t know how to inventory their various literary devices. And I don’t care to. If I have a unique talent as a teacher of literature, it boils down to this: I am passionate about great books. Hugo wrenches my heart and makes me weep tears of anguish and of wonderment. Rostand stirs me to noble ambition in work and love and life. Tolstoy challenges me to think – and to feel – on planes higher than I had ever known. Ibsen, Dostoevsky, Balzac, Jane Austen, Maupassant, Rattigan, Sinclair Lewis – all have helped me to see, in the words of English professor Mark Edmundson, “that life is bigger, sweeter, more tragic and intense—more alive with meaning than I had thought.” I derive profound personal joy from literature, and I have a knack for helping others do the same. That is why I started Read With Me. I know so many people – thoughtful, intelligent, motivated people – who avoid reading the classics. And for understandable reasons: they’re busy, they don’t know what to read, they’ve never been taught how to enjoy it, they have unpleasant memories of tedious discussions in high school English… If you are intimidated, uninitiated, jaded, disillusioned or just plain busy – read with me. Let me show you what reading can be. We use Apple's standard terms of use: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Read With Me at free with in-app purchases against Mindvalley's subscription. Read With Me also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Mindvalley's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 51). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mindvalley sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days and Read With Me sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 — 4.8 for Mindvalley against 4.7 for Read With Me. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindvalley has 7.1K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Mindvalley's written reviews are positive against 56% of Read With Me's.
Mindvalley ships an update weekly, Read With Me every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
