Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quran Progress at 429 against QBytes's 4. QBytes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, 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. Quran Progress sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and QBytes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QBytes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quran Progress has 429 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Quran Progress's written reviews are positive against 100% of QBytes's.
Quran Progress ships an update every 10 days, QBytes every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
