# Book Tracker vs Leafed

The clearest difference is update cadence: Leafed at every 4 days against Book Tracker's every 5 weeks. Leafed also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 Leafed sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Book Tracker against 5.0 for Leafed. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leafed has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Book Tracker ships an update every 5 weeks, Leafed every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
