# Vox vs Reader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vox at none against Reader's 1. Vox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Vox asks for nothing beyond the download.

Vox ships an update every 4 months, Reader every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
