Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bookmarks at 5.0 against Perch's 3.3. Bookmarks also leads on device support (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). Perch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bookmarks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Bookmarks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookmarks ships an update every 4 months, Perch daily. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
