# Chapter vs BookShelf Reader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BookShelf Reader at none against Chapter's 1. BookShelf Reader also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chapter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BookShelf Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.
