# BarrelBook vs BourbonValues

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BarrelBook at 772 against BourbonValues's 1. BarrelBook also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BarrelBook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and BourbonValues sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BourbonValues holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BarrelBook has 772 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BarrelBook ships an update weekly, BourbonValues every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
