# 67 vs ReadUp

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 67 at 85% against ReadUp's 50%. 67 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (75 vs 9). ReadUp's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadUp sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. 67 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReadUp holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 67 has 75 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of 67's written reviews are positive against 50% of ReadUp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

67 ships an update monthly, ReadUp every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
