# Book End vs Readory

The clearest difference is ads: Book End at none against Readory's shown. Book End also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (85% vs 63%). Readory's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, 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 Readory sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Readory holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Book End's written reviews are positive against 63% of Readory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Book End ships an update fortnightly, Readory monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
