Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Outread at every 3 weeks against CFR 39's every 12 months. Outread also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). CFR 39's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Outread sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and CFR 39 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CFR 39 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outread has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Outread ships an update every 3 weeks, CFR 39 every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
