# ReadMe vs 책기록

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 책기록 at none against ReadMe's 8. 책기록 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ReadMe sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 책기록 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReadMe ships an update weekly, 책기록 every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
