Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Buchen at none against Bookmark+'s 1. Buchen also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.8). Bookmark+'s advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buchen holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Bookmark+'s written reviews are positive against 62% of Buchen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookmark+ ships an update daily, Buchen every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
