# Reading Eggs vs RollCall Parent

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reading Eggs at 55% against RollCall Parent's 19%. Reading Eggs also leads on ratings volume (7.3K vs 14) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). RollCall Parent's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading Eggs sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. RollCall Parent asks for nothing beyond the download.

RollCall Parent holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Eggs has 7.3K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Reading Eggs's written reviews are positive against 19% of RollCall Parent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Reading Eggs ships an update every 4 weeks, RollCall Parent fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
