# Reading Tracker vs Bookmark

The clearest difference is rating: Reading Tracker at 4.8 against Bookmark's 4.5. Reading Tracker also leads on ratings volume (284 vs 35). Bookmark's advantage is chart position (#172 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reading Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bookmark sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reading Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Tracker has 284 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Reading Tracker's written reviews are positive against 85% of Bookmark's.

Reading Tracker ships an update every 8 days, Bookmark every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
