# Immersion Reader vs Yomoyo

The clearest difference is rating: Yomoyo at 5.0 against Immersion Reader's 4.0. Yomoyo also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%). Immersion Reader's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Immersion Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Yomoyo sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yomoyo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Immersion Reader has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Immersion Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Yomoyo's.
