# Cupfeed vs ReadKit

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cupfeed at weekly against ReadKit's monthly. ReadKit's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (127 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cupfeed sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ReadKit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReadKit holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadKit has 127 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Cupfeed's written reviews are positive against 56% of ReadKit's.

Cupfeed ships an update weekly, ReadKit monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
