Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CozyRead at 93% against HearFM's 50%. CozyRead also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (200 vs 21). On price, update cadence, ads 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. CozyRead sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and HearFM sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CozyRead holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CozyRead has 200 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of CozyRead's written reviews are positive against 50% of HearFM's.
CozyRead ships an update every 5 weeks, HearFM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
