# Readzy vs Speed reading

The clearest difference is update cadence: Readzy at every 3 days against Speed reading's every 5 weeks. Readzy also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Speed reading's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (145 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readzy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days 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.

Speed reading holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed reading has 145 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Readzy'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.

Readzy ships an update every 3 days, Speed reading every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
