# Easy Grade vs AR Reading List

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Easy Grade at 81% against AR Reading List's 27%. Easy Grade also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). AR Reading List's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Grade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and AR Reading List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Grade holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 456, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Easy Grade's written reviews are positive against 27% of AR Reading List's.

Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, AR Reading List every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
