# Litres vs Kitap

The clearest difference is rating: Litres at 4.7 against Kitap's 3.4. Litres also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 7) and review sentiment (63% vs 42%). Kitap's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Litres sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Kitap sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Litres holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Litres has 2.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Litres's written reviews are positive against 42% of Kitap's.

Litres ships an update fortnightly, Kitap every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
