# Read4Me vs Wise Chat

Read4Me and Wise Chat both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Wise Chat's written reviews are positive against 28% of Read4Me's. Read4Me's advantage is ratings volume (5.4K vs 24). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Read4Me sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Wise Chat sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Read4Me against 4.6 for Wise Chat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Read4Me has 5.4K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Read4Me's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wise Chat's.

Read4Me ships an update every 6 weeks, Wise Chat monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
