Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Risale at 4.8 against Ayat's 4.4. My Risale also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (96% vs 67%). Ayat's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 72) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Risale holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ayat has 2.3K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Ayat's written reviews are positive against 96% of My Risale's.
Ayat ships an update every 10 months, My Risale every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
