Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Children's Books at none against Books For Kids's 9. Children's Books also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Books For Kids's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads 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. Books For Kids sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Children's Books asks for nothing beyond the download.
Children's Books holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Books For Kids has 1.1K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Books For Kids's written reviews are positive against 50% of Children's Books's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Books For Kids ships an update every 3 weeks, Children's Books every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
