# iNook vs Sequel

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sequel at weekly against iNook's every 6 weeks. Sequel also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 45) and review sentiment (93% vs 85%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Sequel sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for iNook against 4.8 for Sequel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 1.3K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of iNook's written reviews are positive against 93% of Sequel's.

iNook ships an update every 6 weeks, Sequel weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
