Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ReadArabic at none against Badawi's shown. ReadArabic also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1). Badawi's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadArabic sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Badawi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Badawi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadArabic has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ReadArabic ships an update every 8 days, Badawi every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
