Starting out, they're both very different. QuickReader has you reading a public domain story of your choosing from its library at a pace of your choosing, while Acceleread starts off by having you focus first on words in the center of the page in rapid-fire succession, than back and forth between three columns of words. I've been alternating between the two, but I can't do either for long because both of them—especially the Acceleread app—give me a headache. And I don't normally get headaches, with the rare exception of a sinus headache. Perhaps the headaches will subside once I become more use to the exercises.
