# Bookology vs Next Page

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bookology at 976 against Next Page's 6. Bookology also leads on chart position (#176 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). Next Page's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookology sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Next Page sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Next Page holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookology has 976 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Bookology's written reviews are positive against 100% of Next Page's.

Bookology ships an update every 6 days, Next Page every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
