# 书影迹 vs ShowDay

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ShowDay at 7 against 书影迹's 1. 书影迹's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 书影迹 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ShowDay sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 — 5.0 for 书影迹 against 5.0 for ShowDay. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShowDay has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
