# Book Tracker vs EpicX

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Book Tracker at 93% against EpicX's 50%. Book Tracker also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). EpicX's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and EpicX sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Book Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 727 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Book Tracker's written reviews are positive against 50% of EpicX's.

Book Tracker ships an update every 5 weeks, EpicX every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
