# ReadStats vs Book Tracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadStats at none against Book Tracker's 2. ReadStats also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. ReadStats asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ReadStats against 5.0 for Book Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadStats has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
