# Softgoods vs ReadScore

The clearest difference is rating: ReadScore at 5.0 against Softgoods's 4.4. ReadScore also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Softgoods's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Softgoods sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. ReadScore asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReadScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Softgoods has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Softgoods's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReadScore's.

Softgoods ships an update fortnightly, ReadScore weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
