# DramaPro vs ReadShort

DramaPro and ReadShort both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of DramaPro's written reviews are positive against 27% of ReadShort's. DramaPro also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 90). ReadShort's advantage is chart position (#83 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DramaPro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and ReadShort sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for DramaPro against 4.5 for ReadShort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DramaPro has 1.1K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of DramaPro's written reviews are positive against 27% of ReadShort's.

DramaPro ships an update every 10 days, ReadShort weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
