# Readit vs ReadWell

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Readit at 100% against ReadWell's 71%. Readit also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (42 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and ReadWell sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Readit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readit has 42 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Readit's written reviews are positive against 71% of ReadWell's.

Readit ships an update every 3 days, ReadWell weekly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
