Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pagerun at Free against BookTree's $4.99. Pagerun also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). BookTree's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (95% vs 80%). On 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
Pagerun is free to download; BookTree costs $4.99 up front. Pagerun sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BookTree asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pagerun holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of BookTree's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pagerun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BookTree ships an update every 4 weeks, Pagerun every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
