# TotalReader Pro vs ReadXP

The clearest difference is price: ReadXP at Free against TotalReader Pro's $6.99. ReadXP also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). TotalReader Pro's advantage is ratings volume (220 vs 1) and chart position (#155 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReadXP is free to download; TotalReader Pro costs $6.99 up front. TotalReader Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and ReadXP sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReadXP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TotalReader Pro has 220 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TotalReader Pro ships an update every 4 weeks, ReadXP every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
