# Litres vs Книги

The clearest difference is rating: Litres at 4.7 against Книги's 3.0. Litres also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 3) and chart position (#119 vs unranked). Книги's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Litres sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Книги sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Litres holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Litres has 2.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 63% and 64% positive.

Litres ships an update fortnightly, Книги every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
