# 微信读书 vs 为你读诗Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 微信读书 at 79% against 为你读诗Pro's 32%. 微信读书 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). 为你读诗Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, 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 为你读诗Pro sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

微信读书 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 微信读书 has 28K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of 微信读书's written reviews are positive against 32% of 为你读诗Pro's.

微信读书 ships an update every 3 weeks, 为你读诗Pro every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
