# Read AI vs Clocked

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Read AI at none against Clocked's 1. Read AI also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clocked sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Read AI asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Read AI against 5.0 for Clocked. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Read AI has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
