# BookWorm vs PageKeeper

The clearest difference is update cadence: BookWorm at weekly against PageKeeper's every 4 weeks. BookWorm also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). PageKeeper's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BookWorm sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and PageKeeper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PageKeeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookWorm has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BookWorm ships an update weekly, PageKeeper every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
