# Bookmark vs EPUB Reader

The clearest difference is rating: EPUB Reader at 4.7 against Bookmark's 4.5. EPUB Reader also leads on iOS requirement (18.1 vs 26.2). Bookmark's advantage is chart position (#184 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookmark sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and EPUB Reader sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EPUB Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Bookmark's written reviews are positive against 83% of EPUB Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bookmark ships an update every 4 days, EPUB Reader every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
