# Convicted vs Coread

Convicted and Coread both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Convicted's written reviews are positive against 0% of Coread's. Convicted also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Coread's advantage is ratings volume (108 vs 27). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Convicted sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Coread sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coread holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 108 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Convicted's written reviews are positive against 0% of Coread's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Convicted ships an update every 4 days, Coread every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
