# Siddur vs Meditations

The clearest difference is price: Meditations at Free against Siddur's $5.99. Meditations also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Siddur's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Meditations is free to download; Siddur costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Meditations holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Siddur has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Siddur ships an update every 3 months, Meditations every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
