# Glance vs Velocity Reader

The clearest difference is price: Velocity Reader at Free against Glance's $3.99. Velocity Reader also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Glance's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Velocity Reader is free to download; Glance costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
