# Bookly vs TaleTime App

The clearest difference is rating: TaleTime App at 5.0 against Bookly's 4.6. TaleTime App also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Bookly's advantage is ratings volume (63K vs 2) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookly sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TaleTime App sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TaleTime App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookly has 63K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Bookly's written reviews are positive against 100% of TaleTime App's.
