# My Book List vs CFR 4

The clearest difference is update cadence: My Book List at every 4 days against CFR 4's every 12 months. CFR 4's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Book List sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CFR 4 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Book List ships an update every 4 days, CFR 4 every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
