# Book End vs Readable

The clearest difference is rating: Book End at 4.6 against Readable's 4.0. Book End also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). Readable's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book End sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Readable sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Book End holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book End has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Book End ships an update every 10 days, Readable every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
