# Book Reader vs STT App

The clearest difference is rating: STT App at 4.8 against Book Reader's 2.8. STT App also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Book Reader's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Reader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. STT App asks for nothing beyond the download.

STT App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Book Reader's written reviews are positive against 88% of STT App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Book Reader ships an update monthly, STT App every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
