# Warehouse Runner vs ShelfVerse

The clearest difference is ads: Warehouse Runner at none against ShelfVerse's shown. Warehouse Runner also leads on ratings volume (645 vs 1) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). ShelfVerse's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Warehouse Runner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ShelfVerse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShelfVerse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Warehouse Runner has 645 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Warehouse Runner ships an update every 4 days, ShelfVerse weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
