Read faster. Understand more. Finish articles in minutes instead of half an hour. UltraRead brings Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) technology to Safari, letting you speed read any webpage with a tap. Instead of scanning lines of text, words appear one at a time at your chosen speed—dramatically increasing how fast you read.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Typewire at none against UltraRead's 1. Typewire also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
