# iReadNote vs 百回

The clearest difference is ads: 百回 at none against iReadNote's shown. 百回 also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). iReadNote's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iReadNote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 百回 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

百回 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iReadNote has 135 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iReadNote ships an update monthly, 百回 every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
