# Readit vs Article Reader

The clearest difference is update cadence: Readit at every 3 days against Article Reader's fortnightly. Readit also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 4). Article Reader's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Article Reader sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Article Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. 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 split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Readit ships an update every 3 days, Article Reader fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
