# QuarterFull vs PiRead

The clearest difference is update cadence: QuarterFull at every 2 days against PiRead's every 2 months. PiRead's advantage is ratings volume (264 vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuarterFull sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month and PiRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PiRead holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PiRead has 264 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of QuarterFull's written reviews are positive against 60% of PiRead's.

QuarterFull ships an update every 2 days, PiRead every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
