# Bookology vs Casebound

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bookology at 976 against Casebound's 2. Bookology also leads on chart position (#160 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). Casebound's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookology sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Casebound sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Casebound 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 2, 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 Casebound's.
