Both are free to download. Wunder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Readova sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Readova holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Wunder's written reviews are positive against 67% of Readova's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wunder ships an update daily, Readova every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
