Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Librivox at 4.4 against Audiobooks Libri's 3.4. Librivox also leads on ratings volume (242 vs 15). Audiobooks Libri's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (78% vs 53%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Librivox sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Audiobooks Libri asks for nothing beyond the download.
Librivox holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Librivox has 242 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Audiobooks Libri's written reviews are positive against 53% of Librivox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Audiobooks Libri ships an update every 2 months, Librivox every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
