# OnlyDrams vs BarrelBook

The clearest difference is ads: BarrelBook at none against OnlyDrams's shown. BarrelBook also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 65%). OnlyDrams's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 788) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 17.5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnlyDrams sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and BarrelBook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OnlyDrams against 4.8 for BarrelBook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnlyDrams has 11K ratings behind it against 788, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of OnlyDrams's written reviews are positive against 92% of BarrelBook's.

OnlyDrams ships an update fortnightly, BarrelBook weekly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
