# KengThai vs I can read Thai

The clearest difference is rating: I can read Thai at 5.0 against KengThai's 4.3. I can read Thai also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). KengThai's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KengThai sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. I can read Thai asks for nothing beyond the download.

I can read Thai holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KengThai has 25 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of KengThai's written reviews are positive against 67% of I can read Thai's.

KengThai ships an update every 4 months, I can read Thai every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
