Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tempt at 1.7K against Between Covers's 1. Tempt also leads on chart position (#71 vs unranked). Between Covers's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Tempt sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Between Covers sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Between Covers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tempt has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
