# Time to Read vs Leaf

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time to Read at none against Leaf's 7. Time to Read also leads on ads (none vs shown). Leaf's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Leaf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Time to Read asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Time to Read against 5.0 for Leaf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leaf has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Time to Read ships an update every 2 months, Leaf every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
