# LibraryTools.com vs SuperSummary

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LibraryTools.com at none against SuperSummary's 6. SuperSummary's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 3). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SuperSummary sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month. LibraryTools.com asks for nothing beyond the download.

LibraryTools.com holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperSummary has 2.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
