# Book vs Book Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Book Tracker at none against Book's shown. Book Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Book Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Book ships an update every 6 months, Book Tracker every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
