# LeafRead vs 拾文阅读

The clearest difference is rating: LeafRead at 5.0 against 拾文阅读's 4.5. LeafRead also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). 拾文阅读's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LeafRead sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 拾文阅读 asks for nothing beyond the download.

LeafRead holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of LeafRead's written reviews are positive against 89% of 拾文阅读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LeafRead ships an update every 2 days, 拾文阅读 every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
