# Book Tracker vs Bookdot

The clearest difference is rating: Bookdot at 4.8 against Book Tracker's 4.0. Bookdot also leads on ratings volume (67 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bookdot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
