The goal of Read Scripture is that everyone would read the Bible for themselves and discover the truth and beauty of God’s Word. To this end, we are curating a year-long Bible reading plan and supplementing the reading with amazingly creative videos (produced by our friends at the Bible Project) that explain every book of the Bible, major theological themes of the gospel, and tips on how to read the Bible. We house all of this content in a beautifully designed app that is available to download in the App Store. We encourage you to experience Read Scripture in community but it is set up so that you can go through it on your own.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Read Scripture at 1.8K against notisnips's 2. notisnips's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
notisnips holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Read Scripture has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Read Scripture ships an update every 5 weeks, notisnips every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
