# 小阅 vs ReadLre

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 小阅 at 90% against ReadLre's 0%. 小阅 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (173 vs 2). ReadLre's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 小阅 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ReadLre sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

小阅 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 小阅 has 173 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of 小阅's written reviews are positive against 0% of ReadLre's.

小阅 ships an update every 3 weeks, ReadLre weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
