# Read Thai vs Thai Dictionary

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Read Thai at none against Thai Dictionary's 2. Read Thai also leads on ratings volume (136 vs 6). Thai Dictionary's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thai Dictionary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Read Thai asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Read Thai against 5.0 for Thai Dictionary. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Read Thai has 136 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Read Thai's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thai Dictionary's.

Read Thai ships an update every 11 days, Thai Dictionary every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
