# Thai Drill vs I can read Thai

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: I can read Thai at none against Thai Drill's 5. I can read Thai also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Thai Drill's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 67%) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thai Drill sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. I can read Thai asks for nothing beyond the download.

I can read Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thai Drill has 31 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Thai Drill's written reviews are positive against 67% of I can read Thai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Thai Drill ships an update monthly, I can read Thai every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
