# Book Writer One vs Writer!

The clearest difference is rating: Writer! at 4.0 against Book Writer One's 2.5. Writer! also leads on ratings volume (118 vs 16). Book Writer One's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

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.
