Our verdict on each
Legimi
Legimi suits readers in Poland and Germany who want unlimited access to ebooks and audiobooks, pairing a catalogue of 240,000 titles with a standard monthly price of PLN 49.99. It scores 9 on our data, and the short 3-day trial is the trade-off to weigh.
Reading Eggs
Reading Eggs is a children's reading subscription built for families rather than adult learners, with £54.99 a year covering the household and a library of 4,000 titles. The 30 days free trial and 30 days money-back period make it a low risk way to see whether a child keeps reading.

Pros and cons
Legimi
Pros
- Access is unlimited, so there is no hours cap to track and nothing to spend down.
- The catalogue holds 240,000 titles, which ranks 9 of 20 brands on that measure.
- Reading and listening sit in the same subscription, since the plan covers audiobooks and ebooks.
Cons
- The entry price of PLN 44.99 sits under the standard monthly price of PLN 49.99, so the lowest figure on display is not the standard rate.
- The free trial of 3 days ranks 15 of 16, at the back of the trial-length table.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre with no live chat listed, so an instant reply is not part of the mix.
Reading Eggs
Pros
- A free trial of 30 days and a money-back period of 30 days let a family use the service properly before deciding to keep paying.
- The library covers 4,000 titles as ebooks and audiobooks, with unlimited access under a single plan.
- Family profiles, a family subscription and a kids version cover a whole household, and a team plan is offered for larger groups.
Cons
- There is no free tier, so the 30 days free trial is the only look before a payment is due.
- Entry at £6.99 sits above phase-6 and Bunpro, which list €0 and $0, so a family wanting a book library still pays to start.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with no live chat or community forum in the list, so a question sent late waits for a reply.
Who each suits
Legimi
Who it suits
- Readers in Poland and Germany (PL and DE) who want one subscription covering reading and listening.
- Catalogue browsers who care about breadth, since 240,000 titles sit under unlimited access.
- Anyone who prefers to pick up the phone, since email, phone and help centre includes it.
Who should look elsewhere
- Audible, for readers who only want to listen and would rather weigh a monthly figure of CAD 8.99.
- Readability, for readers who want a second monthly reading price of $19.99 to set against PLN 49.99.
- AfriKDP, for readers who want another price point, at $3 a month, outside the Polish and German footprint.
Reading Eggs
Who it suits
- Households with several children who want reading practice and a story library in a single subscription, priced at £54.99 a year.
- Parents in the UK who want to look before committing, since phase-6 and Bunpro both start free and Reading Eggs does not, though its 30 days refund window offsets that.
- Families who read aloud together at home, because speech recognition and assessments sit inside the app rather than being left to a live tutor.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone whose goal is an adult spoken language rather than a children's library, since SpanishPod101 starts at $4 and Reading Eggs is built around a kids version and family profiles.
- Learners who insist on starting at no cost, because phase-6 and Bunpro both list free entry prices while Reading Eggs opens at £6.99.
- People outside GB, where the listed price and the money-back period do not apply.

Questions about each
Legimi
How much does Legimi cost each month?+
Legimi's standard monthly plan is priced at PLN 49.99, and its entry price is PLN 44.99. The entry figure sits under the standard monthly rate, so the number to plan a budget around is PLN 49.99. Both amounts belong to the same Legimi plan.
Does Legimi offer a free trial?+
Yes, Legimi offers a free trial of 3 days. That is a short window for judging narration quality and how often you actually read before paying. It is the main thing to weigh against the longer trials common elsewhere in this category.
Reading Eggs
How much does Reading Eggs cost?+
The family subscription is listed at £6.99 a month and £54.99 for a year, with entry at £6.99. Taking the yearly figure rather than paying monthly costs less across the same stretch of time, and both are the renewal prices to budget for once the trial ends.
Is there a free version of Reading Eggs?+
There is no free tier, so nothing stays available once a trial ends without a payment. The free trial lasts 30 days and the money-back period is 30 days, which lets a family use the whole trial, decide it is not working, and still claim the fee back inside that window.
