# 小读书 vs 静静听书

The clearest difference is rating: 静静听书 at 5.0 against 小读书's 1.0. 小读书's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 静静听书 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 小读书 asks for nothing beyond the download.

静静听书 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 小读书's written reviews are positive against 71% of 静静听书's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

小读书 ships an update every 8 days, 静静听书 every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
