# Litres vs Аудиокниги

The clearest difference is monetization model: Litres at free with in-app purchases against Аудиокниги's subscription. Litres also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 35) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). Аудиокниги's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 63%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Litres sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Аудиокниги sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Аудиокниги holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Litres has 2.8K ratings behind it against 35, 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 94% of Аудиокниги's.

Litres ships an update fortnightly, Аудиокниги monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
