# اقرأ لي vs تلك الكتب

The clearest difference is review sentiment: تلك الكتب at 100% against اقرأ لي's 44%. تلك الكتب also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). اقرأ لي's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. اقرأ لي sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and تلك الكتب sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

تلك الكتب holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: اقرأ لي has 4.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of اقرأ لي's written reviews are positive against 100% of تلك الكتب's.

اقرأ لي ships an update fortnightly, تلك الكتب every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
