Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WillPower Books at 4.9 against Pathan Tayar's 4.3. WillPower Books also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (27 vs 4). Pathan Tayar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ads and device support 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. WillPower Books sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Pathan Tayar asks for nothing beyond the download.
WillPower Books holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WillPower Books has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of WillPower Books's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pathan Tayar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WillPower Books ships an update every 9 days, Pathan Tayar every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
