# Readbrew Private Book Tracker vs Leaf

The clearest difference is ads: Readbrew Private Book Tracker at none against Leaf's shown. Leaf's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Readbrew Private Book Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Leaf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Readbrew Private Book Tracker against 5.0 for Leaf.

Readbrew Private Book Tracker ships an update every 2 weeks, Leaf every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on July 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
