# Anobii™ vs BookPine

The clearest difference is rating: BookPine at 4.8 against Anobii™'s 3.4. BookPine also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Anobii™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (41% vs 25%). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BookPine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Anobii™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

BookPine holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookPine has 74 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Anobii™'s written reviews are positive against 25% of BookPine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Anobii™ ships an update every 6 weeks, BookPine weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
