# Booklover vs BookFusion

The clearest difference is price: BookFusion at Free against Booklover's $3.99. BookFusion also leads on ratings volume (521 vs 57) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Booklover's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

BookFusion is free to download; Booklover costs $3.99 up front. BookFusion sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Booklover asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Booklover against 4.7 for BookFusion. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookFusion has 521 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Booklover's written reviews are positive against 76% of BookFusion's.

Booklover ships an update every 2 weeks, BookFusion every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
