# Православный календарь+ vs Russian Bible

Православный календарь+ and Russian Bible both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Православный календарь+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Russian Bible's. Православный календарь+ also leads on ads (none vs shown). Russian Bible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 84). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Православный календарь+ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Russian Bible asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Православный календарь+ against 4.8 for Russian Bible. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Russian Bible has 2.5K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Православный календарь+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Russian Bible's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
