Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reading Tracker at 4.8 against Book Tracking's 3.0. Reading Tracker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (282 vs 2). Book Tracking's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Reading Tracker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Book Tracking sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reading Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Tracker has 282 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Reading Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Book Tracking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Reading Tracker ships an update weekly, Book Tracking every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
