# Book Tracker vs Moonread

The clearest difference is rating: Moonread at 5.0 against Book Tracker's 3.7. Moonread also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Book Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Moonread sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moonread holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Book Tracker has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Book Tracker ships an update every 3 days, Moonread every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
