# iReader vs Lingua AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lingua AI at 100% against iReader's 44%. Lingua AI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). iReader's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iReader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Lingua AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lingua AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iReader has 125 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of iReader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lingua AI's.
