# Book Tracker vs HomeBooks

The clearest difference is update cadence: HomeBooks at every 9 days against Book Tracker's every 5 weeks. HomeBooks also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). Book Tracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and HomeBooks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Book Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeBooks has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Book Tracker ships an update every 5 weeks, HomeBooks every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
