# BookQuest vs ReadMaze

The clearest difference is rating: ReadMaze at 5.0 against BookQuest's 4.4. ReadMaze also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). BookQuest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BookQuest sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and ReadMaze sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReadMaze holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookQuest has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of BookQuest's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReadMaze's.

BookQuest ships an update every 2 weeks, ReadMaze every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
