# Great Reads vs Book End

The clearest difference is rating: Book End at 4.5 against Great Reads's 4.0. Book End also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 3). Great Reads's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book End sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Great Reads asks for nothing beyond the download.

Book End holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book End has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Great Reads's written reviews are positive against 85% of Book End's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
