Both are free to download. Book Writer One sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Writer! sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Writer! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Writer! has 118 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Book Writer One's written reviews are positive against 34% of Writer!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Book Writer One ships an update every 3 weeks, Writer! every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
