The goal of this app is to provide users with one of the largest and authentic collections of Ahadeeth by the 14 Infallibles (AS), both in Arabic and English translation. Users have the option to search Ahadeeth based on keywords, topic, narrator, book etc. A hadith can also be saved in Favorites, to be reviewed at a later time. User also has the option to share the hadith with another contact, or share on social media. Ahadeeth can also be viewed randomly by using the Refresh button on the top right corner of the page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sahifa at 4.9 against Hadith Database's 4.4. Sahifa also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 67%) and ratings volume (54 vs 16). Hadith Database's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
