# Reading Trainer vs SpeedReader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpeedReader at none against Reading Trainer's 10. SpeedReader also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Reading Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (220 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading Trainer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. SpeedReader asks for nothing beyond the download.

SpeedReader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Trainer has 220 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Reading Trainer's written reviews are positive against 100% of SpeedReader's.
