# Reading Lamp vs Readlight

The clearest difference is rating: Readlight at 4.7 against Reading Lamp's 3.1. Readlight also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and ratings volume (349 vs 14). Reading Lamp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readlight sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Reading Lamp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Readlight holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readlight has 349 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Reading Lamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of Readlight's.
