# Readwise Highlights vs WikiMatch

Readwise Highlights and WikiMatch both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WikiMatch's written reviews are positive against 69% of Readwise Highlights's. WikiMatch also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Readwise Highlights's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readwise Highlights sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WikiMatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readwise Highlights has 1.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
