Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
