# LemoRead vs BookWorm

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BookWorm at 100% against LemoRead's 39%. BookWorm also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). LemoRead's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LemoRead sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days and BookWorm sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BookWorm holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LemoRead has 117 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of LemoRead's written reviews are positive against 100% of BookWorm's.

LemoRead ships an update monthly, BookWorm every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
