Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bookshelf Scanner at 3.0 against BookletPDF's 2.3. Bookshelf Scanner also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). BookletPDF's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookshelf Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and BookletPDF sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bookshelf Scanner holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Bookshelf Scanner's written reviews are positive against 50% of BookletPDF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookshelf Scanner ships an update every 5 days, BookletPDF weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
