# ReadAble vs Reading Timer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadAble at none against Reading Timer's 1. ReadAble also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Reading Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading Timer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. ReadAble asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReadAble holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Timer has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of ReadAble's written reviews are positive against 88% of Reading Timer's.

ReadAble ships an update every 2 months, Reading Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
