Verdict

The call

Origami and Speed reading both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Origami's written reviews are positive against 25% of Speed reading's. Origami also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 143) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Speed reading's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Origami sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Speed reading sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speed reading holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Origami has 1.1K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Origami's written reviews are positive against 25% of Speed reading's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Origami ships an update every 2 weeks, Speed reading every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
