# أبجد vs تلك الكتب

The clearest difference is update cadence: أبجد at weekly against تلك الكتب's every 4 months. أبجد also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 2) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). تلك الكتب's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. أبجد sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and تلك الكتب sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

تلك الكتب holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: أبجد has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of أبجد's written reviews are positive against 100% of تلك الكتب's.

أبجد ships an update weekly, تلك الكتب every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
