Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anobii™ at 41% against Giunti's 0%. Anobii™ also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). Giunti's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.7 vs 3.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Giunti holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Anobii™'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Giunti'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, Giunti every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
