# Tabla vs Pararead

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tabla at every 11 days against Pararead's every 2 months. Tabla also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tabla sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Pararead sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Tabla against 4.5 for Pararead. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabla has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tabla ships an update every 11 days, Pararead every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
