Matter

Matter, from Dig Wells, Inc., is the strongest free option here: its basic tier is described as free forever and includes an unlimited library, every save method and unlimited tags, with Premium at $8 a month or $60 a year on top. The standout features are HD text-to-speech, gesture highlighting and an AI Co-Reader, and it reads offline. The catch is reach — it is iPhone, iPad and web only, with no Android app at all. Pocket users were offered 50% off their first year. It is also actively maintained, with an iOS update shipped on 27 July 2026.
