# Sooper Books vs Night Zookeeper

The clearest difference is rating: Night Zookeeper at 4.6 against Sooper Books's 3.9. Night Zookeeper also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 61%) and ratings volume (611 vs 19). Sooper Books's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sooper Books sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Night Zookeeper sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Zookeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Zookeeper has 611 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two.
