# Genie Strings vs BookFold Studio

The clearest difference is rating: BookFold Studio at 3.0 against Genie Strings's 1.0. BookFold Studio also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Genie Strings's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Genie Strings sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and BookFold Studio sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BookFold Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Genie Strings's written reviews are positive against 0% of BookFold Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
