# Strong's Concordance vs Bible Engagement Project

The clearest difference is rating: Strong's Concordance at 4.8 against Bible Engagement Project's 4.2. Strong's Concordance also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 62). Bible Engagement Project's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strong's Concordance sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Bible Engagement Project asks for nothing beyond the download.

Strong's Concordance holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strong's Concordance has 26K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Strong's Concordance's written reviews are positive against 57% of Bible Engagement Project's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Strong's Concordance ships an update every 2 months, Bible Engagement Project weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
