# Bookmory vs Bookwise

The clearest difference is ads: Bookwise at none against Bookmory's shown. Bookmory's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 69%) and ratings volume (16K vs 767). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookmory sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Bookwise sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bookmory holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookmory has 16K ratings behind it against 767, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Bookmory's written reviews are positive against 69% of Bookwise's.

Bookmory ships an update every 5 days, Bookwise weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
