# Chapter vs Mistbook

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mistbook at none against Chapter's 3. Mistbook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Chapter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chapter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Mistbook asks for nothing beyond the download.

Chapter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mistbook has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chapter ships an update fortnightly, Mistbook every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
