Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Book Tracker at 4.9 against Poetrify's 4.3. Book Tracker also leads on ratings volume (727 vs 4). Poetrify's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Book Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 727 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Book Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Poetrify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Book Tracker ships an update every 5 weeks, Poetrify every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
