# ReadKit vs TinyTinyClient

The clearest difference is rating: TinyTinyClient at 5.0 against ReadKit's 4.4. TinyTinyClient also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). ReadKit's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadKit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TinyTinyClient sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TinyTinyClient holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadKit has 124 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ReadKit ships an update every 2 weeks, TinyTinyClient every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
