# FolioSpace Reader vs BookOrbit

The clearest difference is rating: FolioSpace Reader at 5.0 against BookOrbit's 4.3. FolioSpace Reader also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). BookOrbit's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FolioSpace Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BookOrbit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FolioSpace Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookOrbit has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of FolioSpace Reader's written reviews are positive against 66% of BookOrbit's.

FolioSpace Reader ships an update every 2 weeks, BookOrbit every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
