# Readability vs Master Reading Comprehension

The clearest difference is rating: Readability at 4.6 against Master Reading Comprehension's 1.0. Readability also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 1) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). Master Reading Comprehension's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readability sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Master Reading Comprehension sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Readability holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readability has 24K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
