# Book Tracker vs Leaf

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Leaf at 100% against Book Tracker's 27%. Leaf also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Book Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (106 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Leaf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Leaf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 106 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Book Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Leaf's.

Book Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Leaf every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
