# Quotes Widgets vs Read4Me

The clearest difference is rating: Read4Me at 4.5 against Quotes Widgets's 3.0. Read4Me also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 1). Quotes Widgets's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 28%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quotes Widgets sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Read4Me sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Read4Me holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Read4Me has 5.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Quotes Widgets's written reviews are positive against 28% of Read4Me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quotes Widgets ships an update fortnightly, Read4Me every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
