# Quotebook vs Second Reading

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Second Reading at none against Quotebook's 5. Quotebook's advantage is ratings volume (130 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quotebook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Second Reading asks for nothing beyond the download.

Second Reading holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quotebook has 130 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
