# Readest vs SuperReading

The clearest difference is rating: SuperReading at 5.0 against Readest's 4.5. SuperReading also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (97% vs 84%). Readest's advantage is ratings volume (201 vs 2) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readest sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SuperReading sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SuperReading holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Readest has 201 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Readest's written reviews are positive against 97% of SuperReading's.

Readest ships an update fortnightly, SuperReading every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
