# Book Tracker & Reading Log vs World clock widget

The clearest difference is update cadence: World clock widget at weekly against Book Tracker & Reading Log's every 6 weeks. World clock widget also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 19%). Book Tracker & Reading Log's advantage is ratings volume (152 vs 22) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker & Reading Log sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and World clock widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
