# Listy vs Read More

The clearest difference is rating: Read More at 5.0 against Listy's 4.6. Read More also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.6). Listy's advantage is ratings volume (485 vs 5) and review sentiment (60% vs 49%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Listy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Read More sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Read More holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Listy has 485 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Listy's written reviews are positive against 49% of Read More's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Listy ships an update every 2 weeks, Read More fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
