# Scholaread vs Doclingo

The clearest difference is rating: Doclingo at 5.0 against Scholaread's 4.5. Doclingo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Scholaread's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scholaread sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $22.90 per 3 months and Doclingo sells 46 in-app purchases, starting at $2.29 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doclingo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scholaread has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
