# Book.io vs eBooks Pro

Book.io and eBooks Pro both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Book.io's written reviews are positive against 50% of eBooks Pro's. Book.io also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). eBooks Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Book.io is free to download; eBooks Pro costs $4.99 up front. eBooks Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Book.io asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Book.io against 4.8 for eBooks Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book.io has 58 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
