# Quranic vs QBytes

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quranic at 4.2K against QBytes's 4. QBytes's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quranic sells 4 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Quranic against 5.0 for QBytes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quranic has 4.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Quranic's written reviews are positive against 100% of QBytes's.

Quranic ships an update every 3 weeks, QBytes every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
