# Quran vs Ayah Player

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quran at 34K against Ayah Player's 1. Quran also leads on chart position (#61 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Quran against 5.0 for Ayah Player. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran has 34K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Quran's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ayah Player's.

Quran ships an update every 4 days, Ayah Player every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
