# 微信读书 vs 世图粤读

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 微信读书 at 79% against 世图粤读's 30%. 微信读书 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (28K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 微信读书 sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 世图粤读 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
