Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Speechly at 6 against Readity's 1. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Speechly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Readity sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Readity holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speechly has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Speechly ships an update every 8 days, Readity weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
