# ReaderView vs List Habits

The clearest difference is price: ReaderView at Free against List Habits's $0.99. ReaderView also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (67 vs 1). List Habits's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReaderView is free to download; List Habits costs $0.99 up front. ReaderView sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. List Habits asks for nothing beyond the download.

List Habits holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReaderView has 67 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of ReaderView's written reviews are positive against 87% of List Habits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ReaderView ships an update every 2 days, List Habits every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
