Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Book Tracker at 745 against Quote Archive's 2. Quote Archive's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. Book Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Quote Archive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Book Tracker against 5.0 for Quote Archive. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 745 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Book Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Quote Archive's.
Book Tracker ships an update every 5 weeks, Quote Archive weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
