Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reading Tracker at 4.8 against Great Reads's 4.0. Reading Tracker also leads on ratings volume (284 vs 3). Great Reads's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads and device support 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. Reading Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Great Reads asks for nothing beyond the download.
Reading Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Tracker has 284 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 89% of Reading Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
