The clearest difference is rating: ScriptE S at 5.0 against Weekend Read 2's 4.4. ScriptE S also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Weekend Read 2's advantage is ratings volume (131 vs 3) and review sentiment (42% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekend Read 2 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ScriptE S sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptE S holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekend Read 2 has 131 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Weekend Read 2's written reviews are positive against 33% of ScriptE S's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weekend Read 2 ships an update every 5 weeks, ScriptE S every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
