# PulseRead vs SpeedRead

The clearest difference is device support: SpeedRead at 3 against PulseRead's 1. SpeedRead also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PulseRead sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and SpeedRead sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
