# Document Reader vs True

The clearest difference is ratings volume: True at 4.2K against Document Reader's 11. True also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Document Reader's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Document Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and True sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Document Reader against 4.3 for True. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: True has 4.2K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Document Reader ships an update every 6 weeks, True monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
