# Storytel vs Woblink

The clearest difference is rating: Storytel at 4.7 against Woblink's 2.2. Storytel also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 17) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Woblink's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storytel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Woblink sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storytel holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storytel has 11K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Storytel's written reviews are positive against 36% of Woblink's.

Storytel ships an update weekly, Woblink every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
