# iFBAs vs 读不舍手

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iFBAs at none against 读不舍手's 7. iFBAs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (100 vs 4). 读不舍手's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 读不舍手 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. iFBAs asks for nothing beyond the download.

读不舍手 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFBAs has 100 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of iFBAs's written reviews are positive against 44% of 读不舍手's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iFBAs ships an update every 6 weeks, 读不舍手 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
