Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Listen at 4.5 against Page Reader's 2.3. Listen also leads on ratings volume (505 vs 3). Page Reader's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 38%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Listen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Page Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Listen holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Listen has 505 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Listen's written reviews are positive against 50% of Page Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Listen ships an update every 2 months, Page Reader monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
