# Session vs Read More

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Session at none against Read More's 1. Session also leads on ratings volume (933 vs 4) and review sentiment (76% vs 53%). Read More's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Read More sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Session asks for nothing beyond the download.

Read More holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Session has 933 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Session's written reviews are positive against 53% of Read More's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Session ships an update every 4 months, Read More fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
