# Audio Bible vs Scripture

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripture at 100% against Audio Bible's 64%. Scripture also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Audio Bible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 3). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scripture sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Audio Bible asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scripture holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Bible has 5.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Audio Bible's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scripture's.

Audio Bible ships an update every 3 months, Scripture every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
