# iReader vs TidyVibe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iReader at 44% against TidyVibe's 0%. TidyVibe's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (15 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iReader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and TidyVibe sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TidyVibe holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 122 and 58 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of iReader's written reviews are positive against 0% of TidyVibe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
