# اقرأ لي vs منطوق

The clearest difference is review sentiment: منطوق at 89% against اقرأ لي's 44%. منطوق also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#47 vs unranked). اقرأ لي's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 124). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. اقرأ لي sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and منطوق sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

منطوق holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: اقرأ لي has 4.5K ratings behind it against 124, 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 89% of منطوق's.

اقرأ لي ships an update fortnightly, منطوق every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
