# SlowRead vs Casebound

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Casebound at 100% against SlowRead's 22%. Casebound also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). SlowRead's advantage is ratings volume (810 vs 2) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SlowRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.39 per 7 days and Casebound sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Casebound holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SlowRead has 810 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of SlowRead's written reviews are positive against 100% of Casebound's.
