# A vs Книги

The clearest difference is rating: A at 5.0 against Книги's 3.0. A also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Книги's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 39 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Книги sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. A asks for nothing beyond the download.

A holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of A's written reviews are positive against 64% of Книги's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

A ships an update every 39 months, Книги every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
