# Summit Reader vs 早晚读书

The clearest difference is ads: 早晚读书 at none against Summit Reader's shown. 早晚读书 also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Summit Reader's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summit Reader sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and 早晚读书 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

早晚读书 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summit Reader has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Summit Reader's written reviews are positive against 95% of 早晚读书's.

Summit Reader ships an update every 3 weeks, 早晚读书 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
