# Leaf vs Reading Streak

The clearest difference is ads: Reading Streak at none against Leaf's shown. Leaf's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Leaf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Reading Streak sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Leaf against 5.0 for Reading Streak. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leaf has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Leaf ships an update every 3 days, Reading Streak every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
