# EReader vs GridNote SLP

The clearest difference is monetization model: EReader at free against GridNote SLP's freemium. EReader also leads on ratings volume (254 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). GridNote SLP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EReader sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and GridNote SLP sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GridNote SLP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EReader has 254 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EReader ships an update fortnightly, GridNote SLP every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
