# CloudLibrary vs Tempt

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CloudLibrary at none against Tempt's 19. CloudLibrary also leads on ratings volume (259K vs 1.6K). Tempt's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tempt sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. CloudLibrary asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for CloudLibrary against 4.8 for Tempt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudLibrary has 259K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of CloudLibrary's written reviews are positive against 76% of Tempt's.

CloudLibrary ships an update every 6 weeks, Tempt every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
