Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: bratify at none against MotionBook's 1. bratify also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). MotionBook's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MotionBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. bratify asks for nothing beyond the download.
MotionBook holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MotionBook has 3.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of MotionBook's written reviews are positive against 100% of bratify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MotionBook ships an update every 6 weeks, bratify fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
