# Book Tracker vs Readtide

The clearest difference is rating: Readtide at 5.0 against Book Tracker's 4.8. Book Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Readtide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Readtide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
