# Bookshelf vs ReadFlow

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadFlow at none against Bookshelf's 6. Bookshelf's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookshelf sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. ReadFlow asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReadFlow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookshelf has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
