# Learn to Read vs Kindergarten Practice

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Learn to Read at 71K against Kindergarten Practice's 1. Learn to Read also leads on chart position (#15 vs unranked). Kindergarten Practice's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn to Read sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.49 per month and Kindergarten Practice sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kindergarten Practice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn to Read has 71K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Learn to Read's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kindergarten Practice's.
