# AR Reading List vs Stock Pattern Trainer

The clearest difference is rating: Stock Pattern Trainer at 5.0 against AR Reading List's 4.5. Stock Pattern Trainer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 8 months). AR Reading List's advantage is ratings volume (337 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR Reading List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stock Pattern Trainer asks for nothing beyond the download.
