Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Newbook at 4.5 against CurateAI's 3.9. Newbook also leads on ratings volume (762 vs 18) and review sentiment (89% vs 78%). CurateAI's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Newbook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and CurateAI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Newbook holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newbook has 762 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Newbook's written reviews are positive against 78% of CurateAI's.
Newbook ships an update monthly, CurateAI weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 25, 2026 respectively.
