# Readle vs Graded Reader

The clearest difference is ads: Graded Reader at none against Readle's shown. Graded Reader also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Readle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readle sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Graded Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Graded Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readle has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Readle ships an update every 3 weeks, Graded Reader every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
