Find out how long it will take to finish your book. Simply log your reading sessions. Reading Time is built for readers who care about finishing important books, but read in short, irregular sessions. Instead of pages, streak pressure, or generic estimates, it shows the remaining effort for each book based on how you actually read. This lets you decide, realistically, whether a book fits into your life right now. Start reading and stop when you’re done. Reading Time learns from your sessions and shows how much effort is left for each book at your own pace. If you’ve ever thought “I want to read this, but I don’t know if I have time,” or found yourself starting books and never finishing them, or felt put off by apps that expect daily consistency, Reading Time was made for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Reading Time at 24 against ReadStreak's 1. ReadStreak's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Reading Time sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and ReadStreak sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ReadStreak holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Time has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Reading Time ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadStreak every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 12, 2026 respectively.
