# InRead vs Readingo

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Readingo at 117 against InRead's 2. Readingo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). InRead's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Readingo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InRead holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readingo has 117 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of InRead's written reviews are positive against 93% of Readingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

InRead ships an update every 3 weeks, Readingo weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
