# FocalRead vs UltraRead

The clearest difference is rating: FocalRead at 4.6 against UltraRead's 1.0. FocalRead also leads on ratings volume (93 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocalRead sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and UltraRead sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FocalRead holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FocalRead has 93 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
