# Bookwise vs Book Summaries

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bookwise at 69% against Book Summaries's 0%. Bookwise also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookwise sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Book Summaries sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bookwise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookwise has 768 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Bookwise's written reviews are positive against 0% of Book Summaries's.
