# Bible Hub vs Colophon

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible Hub at none against Colophon's 4. Bible Hub also leads on ratings volume (121K vs 1) and review sentiment (87% vs 67%). Colophon's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colophon sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Bible Hub asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bible Hub against 5.0 for Colophon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bible Hub has 121K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Bible Hub's written reviews are positive against 67% of Colophon's.

Bible Hub ships an update every 10 months, Colophon every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
