# Literary vs Bio Reading

The clearest difference is rating: Bio Reading at 4.4 against Literary's 3.7. Bio Reading also leads on ratings volume (494 vs 13). Literary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (29% vs 15%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bio Reading sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Literary asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bio Reading holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bio Reading has 494 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Literary's written reviews are positive against 15% of Bio Reading's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
