# Reading light vs Focus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Reading light at 68 against Focus's 2. Reading light also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading light sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Focus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Reading light against 5.0 for Focus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading light has 68 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
