# BookFusion vs Readgio

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BookFusion at 521 against Readgio's 1. BookFusion also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). Readgio's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BookFusion sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Readgio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Readgio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookFusion has 521 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of BookFusion's written reviews are positive against 100% of Readgio's.
