Through these Urdu-language studies, you start at the beginning of creation and work your way through the redemption of all mankind. The studies in this app highlight many important points of the Holy Books and ask great questions to discuss with family and friends in a group as well as help you personalise and put them into practice. The text is in three scripts: Urdu (اردو), Devanagari Urdu (देवनागरी उर्दू), and Roman Urdu, so you can use whichever you prefer. Every study has the audio as well as excellent questions. The Holy Books weren't meant to simply be read, but to be used! This app is just the start, but will help you down the path on a wonderful journey of discovery.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Kalaam at every 10 days against QuranHive's every 32 months. Kalaam also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). QuranHive's advantage is ratings volume (542 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
