# Learn to Read vs My Reading Coach

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Learn to Read at 79K against My Reading Coach's 1. Learn to Read also leads on chart position (#16 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). My Reading Coach's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn to Read sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $12.49 per month and My Reading Coach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Reading Coach 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 79K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
