Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ReadFlow at none against 小阅's shown. ReadFlow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). 小阅's advantage is ratings volume (165 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment 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. 小阅 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ReadFlow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 小阅 against 4.8 for ReadFlow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 小阅 has 165 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of 小阅's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReadFlow's.
小阅 ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadFlow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
