Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Readmical at none against Comet's 3. Readmical also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Comet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Comet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. Readmical asks for nothing beyond the download.
Readmical holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comet has 7.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Readmical's written reviews are positive against 65% of Comet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Readmical ships an update every 7 months, Comet weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
